Hi my grandad has recently have his iPad to my little girl, is there a reason it won’t go higher than iOS 10.3?
i can’t down load Disney+ / or Netflix.. is this something can be updated?
its not the one registered under my name, how do I find out what iPad it is?
iPad, iOS 12
If your iPad is currently running, or cannot be updated beyond iOS 10.3.3/4, then you most likely have an iPad4.
Update support for iPad4 ended September 2017. The final iOS releases for this model were iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only models) and iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi & Cellular). iPad4 cannot be updated to any later major version of iOS as it lacks the minimum hardware requirements needed to run more recent versions.
Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. Withdrawal of Apps supporting older models of iPad is making their utility and usefulness significantly more limited.
If Apps that you need to use now have higher minimum iOS-version requirements, your only option is to replace your iPad with newer model. Even the current basic iPad7 supports current iPadOS 13.x - and has hardware specifications that will vastly outperform your old iPad4.
I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating your current options.

If you go to settings it should tell you.
I imagine the iPad Is quite old so you can't update it pass 10.3, which means most apps won't download.
The iPad won't be updated anymore
Where would it tell me?
Updte iPad?
