Need help with ios update

Unfortunately, for your current iPad, further update is not possible.

The original iPad mini cannot be updated beyond iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models) or iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi & Cellular).

Apple ended update support for these devices in September 2016. iPad mini1 cannot be updated to iOS 10 or later versions, as the internal hardware does not meet the minimum technical requirements for new versions of iOS/iPadOS. The 32-bit System architecture, upon which the design is based, is now obsolete.

Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store.

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. Of current iPad models, even the entry-level iPad7 supports current iPadOS 13.x (and soon to be released iPadOS 14) and the majority of App titles - and has hardware specifications and capabilities that will vastly outperform your old iPad mini1. Other models of iPad offer higher performance and additional features.

I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating the limitations of your existing iPad and your current options.

Sorry, but this is not possible, any longer.

Your iPad is too old and will be fully obsolete very soon!

Here's why.

Sorry & Good Luck to You!

The only way it can be resolved is by purchasing an iOS to date device that runs the newest iOS software. Your iPad is at the end of line for support. You need to upgrade. You don’t have to buy brand new. You can search for refurbished iPads at a lower cost than new ones.
