iPad update

Sorry, no, not possible.

If your iPad is currently running, or cannot be updated beyond iOS 10.3.3/4, then have an iPad4.

Update support for iPad4 ended September 2017. The final iOS releases for this model were iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only models) and iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi & Cellular). iPad4 cannot be updated to any later major version of iOS as it lacks the minimum hardware requirements needed to run more recent versions. The 32-bit platform upon which the iPad4 is based is effectively obsolete.

Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. Withdrawal of Apps supporting older models of iPad is making their utility and usefulness significantly more limited. Once compatible versions Apps are withdrawn, you’ll not be able (re)download or (re)install them.

If Apps that you need to use now have higher minimum iOS-version requirements, your only option is to replace your iPad with newer model. Of current models, even the entry-level iPad8 supports current iPadOS 14 - and has hardware specifications and capabilities that vastly outperform your old iPad4.

I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating the limitations of your iPad4 and your available options.

You won’t be able to do that as your iPad 4 lies in line of vintage products. That means they were discontinued by Apple. It may receive security updates but it won’t receive updates like iOS 13 or iOS 11. I will explain you why?

Every device Apple creates has an IC that allows it to update to a certain extent if you try to update it to any software above this extent the IC will burn up and won’t allow your iPad to Turn on + it will loose all data stores on to it and you won’t be able to retrieve it. This IC cannot be changed if you change your iPad wont be recognized as an Apple device and will be called a device with unauthorized modifications. Every device also has a bionic processor that can work efficiently with a software that doesn’t overload it

You are very welcome.

Your iPad will continue to work within in limitations. As perhaps suggested elsewhere, your iPad will not self-destruct if you attempt update :-)

You are welcome next time have a question we are just a few minutes away
