unable to update ipad

I have an iPad model MD515LL/A. I am unable to update my iOS beyond 10.3.3. How can I update to the latest iOS version?

If you got to settings - general - software update and it says your up to date, then it the end of the line for IOS update.

You will need to upgrade to a newer ipad to get the latest IOS.

You have an iPad4 - which cannot be updated beyond iOS 10.3.3/4.

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Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store.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. Once compatible versions Apps are withdrawn, you’ll not be able (re)download or (re)install them.

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 basic current 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 the limitations of your iPad4 and your available options.

Since this posting is of an entirely different nature/question, and your question is off-topic, I suggest that you start your own post and ask this question as to not make confusion about this post.

Thank You.

Can I use songs that I wrote / recorded / produced / own the copyright to and are already released on an album to make a video in iMovie?
