Q: ios 9 compatibility with older ipads

I have an iPad 3 and have just updated to IOS 9. I notice that a lot of the new features do not work on this iPad.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or is it that older iPads are now in the cheap seats?

iPad, iOS 9

    Thanks so much for this information.

    Wouldn't it be helpful and fun if Apple would make this information all easily available to it's customers?

    That information is readily available on www.apple.com which is where

    I copied it from. It is not clear where you feel would be a better place to

    find such information.
