You likely bought an older model and yes iPads do all hit a point where they cannot be updated further. If it doesn’t meet your needs, see if you can return it and get a newer one.


Anything newer than an iPad Air 2 can run the current iPad OS.

So you may be money ahead to spend a bit more on a newer device that will have a longer life than an old one that can no longer be updated
