ios 10.3.3 for ipad is up to date?

Why does my ipad think my operating system is up to date, yet I can't download any updates for apps without a higher operating system. Does anyone know how to fix this?

iPad, iOS 10

If your iPad has been stuck on iOS 10.3.3 for the past few years, with no upgrades/updates forthcoming, then you own an iPad 4th generation.

A 4th gen iPad cannot be upgraded beyond iOS 10.3.3/10.3.4.

A 4th gen iPad is an over 7-year old device, now!

Its internal hardware is too old, underpowered and completely incompatible with any current and future versions of iOS.


Sorry. It is what it is.


If you need.want an iPad that can run the latest and greatestversions of iOS, as well as, the most current apps available, then, you will need to purchase a new iPad from Apple or a discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple’s Refurbished & Clearance section of Apple’s Website.


Best of Luck to You!
