Q: Is the iPad 3rd generation compatible with iOS 10?

Is the iPad 3rd generation compatible with iOS 10? I would lIke to upgrade, primarily to use the new  Maps app. I've seen some sites state that it is possible to upgrade a 3rd gen iPad. If not, is there a way to download just the Maps app.

Thanks,

Lou

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 8.4

    No it is NOT!

     

    iPad 2, 3 and the 1st gen. iPad Mini are NOT eligible for iOS 10.

     

    The hardware and CPU in these incompatible models are all the same and not capable of running even the most basic of features of iOS 10.

     

    The iPad 4,  with lightning connector, is the only qualifying older iPad model that is compatible with iOS 10.
