What year and model iPad Mini do you own?

What is the “A” model number of that iPad Mini?

The “A” model number of your iPad can be found on the lower area of the aluminium back of your iPad in small print letters right underneath the large, bold printed” iPad”.


Because if this is a 2012, 1st gen iPad Mini, if you completely reset this iPad, it will be “sudden and final death” of this iPad, in terms of no longer being able to obtain ANY popular, older iOS versions of third party apps initially from the Apple iOS App Store.

If an old 2012, 1st gen iPad Mini, if you reset that iPad, there will be NO MORE apps to initially obtain/install and that iPad Mini has, basically, been rendered useless, except for FaceTime use and some limited Web browsing use via some other third party Web browser AND NOT using that nearly 4-year old default, iOS Safari Web browser.
