iOS 9 operating system upgrade to IOS12

I read somewhere that if you purchase an Ipad mini with IOS 9, you can't upgrade to 12. Is this true? And if not true, how much more room does the 12 take on Ipad mini 128?

Thank you!

Apple will sell a device with the highest OS available that will go on the device. If you buy a device used or from a third party they may not have upgraded it. Some may consider that a blessing if a newer OS is slowing down a device or you have reason for wishing an older configuration. Once upgraded you cannot downgrade.
