Hi,
so one of my parents has an older version of the iPad(around 6 years old) and they are unable to update it to the newer IOS systems as a result. Because of this issue they have been unable to download certain apps they need. Is there a way to update the iPad even though it is so old?
No.
New versions of iOS and apps surpass older computing hardware, just like regular computers do.
It just happens sooner with highly mobile computing devices, like smartphones and tablets.
The internal hardware is too old, underpowered and completely incompatible with any of the current and future versions of iOS/iPadOS.
Sorry. It is what it is at this very late date, now here in the year 2020.
If you need an iPad that can run the latest and greatest versions of iOS, as well as, the most current apps available, then, you need to purchase a new iPad from Apple or a discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple’s Refurbished & Clearance section of Apple’s Website or a new or refurbished iPad from an Apple authorised, third party retail or online reseller OR other trusted sources for new or used Apple products.
Good Luck!

I’m sorry, no. All ipads hit a point where they cannot be updated further.
