Look on the back for the model number and stick it into google. My iPad 2 for example is A1396 and it says it only goes up to 9.3.5. I'd imagine that's what you've got too.

I think its unreasonable to expect Apple to support 10 year old devices. They still support the iPad mini 4 - which is 6 years old.

I still use my Mac Air laptop every single day that I bought in 2012
It is up to date and rocks
Just as fast as the day I got it

9 years later it is still perfect

They could of made the ipads last longer, mine is a 2011, but with the mentality of their iphones they decide to outdate them sooner than they should, forcing you into buying a newer device. Corporate bullying tactics I guess
 
I've got an old iPad 3 lying around too, however it's so painfully slow to use it's just not worth it. Might turn it into a picture frame or something one day.

Completely disagree there. Apple does a much better job at supporting older devices than other manufactures do. If their supported lasted ± 3 years, I would tend to agree. But come on, you want them to support a 10 year old mobile device that had limited battery life and CPU power at the time?

The iPad Air 2 - which was released in 2014 is still supported by the latest updates, today. Hardly corp greed, as you put it.

The iPhone 6s; which was released in 2015 is also still supported by the latest OS today. I think that's very reasonable.

My iPad2 has been outdated for years now
Yet is only 1 year different to my laptop

Kinda weird dont you think? Considering what one pays for an Apple product, I mean this isnt cheap Xaiomi stuff now

I agree and disagree with your argument, once the device is strong enough they should support it for way longer, but the iPad 2 even when it was still being updated had issues of just loading more than one website, I remember even some of the MyBB threads would lag and sometimes crash when I wanted the keyboard to pop up. I installed a tweak to check memory usage, just iOS on a fresh start used around 300MB of the 500MB of RAM on the device.

That excuse doesn't really fly for the iPad Air.

So, you want to compare an iPad device that had inferior CPU and GPU to your more expensive MacBook Air and complain that Apple doesn't support them both for more than 10 years?

You're right, it's not a cheap Android product that only has support for 2yrs at best. Since the original iPad release and the 2, for that matter Apple's support has gotten better. Yes, the iPad 2 was only supported until 2015. But there were major advantages in the OS around that time that it just meant the older hardware literally cannot run it.

However, since then support has been increased from an average of 3 years (iPad 2) to 6 years - iPad Air 2. That is an improvement. You have to agree that this isn't corporate greed. This is Apple trying to maintain the best experience for its users as possible.

Trust me; iOS 13 on an iPad 2 would be utter ****. Hardware is just not capable.

Yes, the keyboard lagged so much that apps would crash, unless you type very very slowly, what a pain that was, and that was quite a long time ago.
Luckily now on latest IOS 9 something it doesnt crash the apps anymore

There is actually nothing wrong with my iPad 2's hardware, its only the software that is problematic - Luckily I still have an old version of Netflix installed and it works fine. I also had an old version of Youtube installed, which also works fine, except now it plays one video without a hitch, then a pop-up appears stating that it needs an update and closes the app.

I get it that hardware progresses and all that, but why not allow the older apps to continue working as it used to? Sure its slow, sure it doesn't have the latest bells and whistles, but it still works.

We already have a huge trash issue on this planet and now they want me to throw a perfectly working device away, because it suits their pocket?

The new iPhones; the camera's are hardware locked to the physical device. In otherwords, one cannot simply swap a broken camera from a donor phone. You have to buy a new phone.

Is sickening that us a society even accepts this unscrupulous behavior.

10000% agree with you, why I will NEVER support Apple, and pay money for buy one of their IDIOT Phones or Idiot pads.
if anything I would buy something like this:
shop.fairphone.com

Fairphone 3

Made with care for people and planet. It’s got everything you’d expect from a great phone — and so much more.Discontinued.ghhbqgp-s{padding-top:12px !important;padding-bottom:12px !important;background-color:#878787 !important;}Supported for years to comeWe will continue to stock spare parts and...
shop.fairphone.com shop.fairphone.com

Apple are the most evil and unscrupulous company on the planet, and I wish they would Vanish tomorrow, up into the Alien Mothership where Steve Jobs came from.
I have a Company Idiotphone 7 now, can never work out, why would anybody buy this or any other Idiot-device in a 100000 years.

cant copy music I own, whats the point of that?, must use Idiot-tunes
movies, books, anything else, cant do, everything I would expect to be able to do is CANT.

its literally a brick that does nothing except use up its microscopic battery, and then need a charge, and when that's done.
trash trash baby! zero resale or recycling value, literally a Idiot device in every single way!

why people buy this over a much more capable Android device, I will never understand, and Here I have one Currently, and I still cant do what I want to do.
ive given it its shot, and its useless for anything other than what Apple wants you to do with it.

That YouTube issue is easily fixable if you're jailbroken.
