Gen 3 iPad upgrade to 9.3.6?

Can I update my Gen 3 iPad beyond 9.3.5 now that a fix is out for the GPS issue? When I attempt to do so through iTunes, it says I have the latest version at 9.3.5 (also what it says in settings). I am concerned that I will not be able to connect to the Internet (using WiFi) beyond November 3, 2019.

Hello,

The November deadline only affects cellular devices. What is occurring is that the cellular model uses a certificate which expires on that day which would no longer allow those devices to connect to a cellular network which means they would no longer connect to the internet. Wi-Fi iPad models use a different cellular model that is unaffected.
