Can I update my iPad Pro 3rd gen to iOS 10.3.4?

Your inability to update the iPad has nothing at all to do with your Norton App; the App, however, is not compatible with the version of iOS installed on your iPad.

If your iPad is currently running, or cannot be updated beyond iOS 10.3.3/4, then have an iPad4. Update to iOS11 or later isn’t possible.

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. The 32-bit platform upon which the iPad4 is based is obsolete.

Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. 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 Once compatible versions Apps are withdrawn, you’ll not be able (re)download or (re)install them.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. Of current models, even the entry-level iPad8 supports current iPadOS 14 - and has hardware specifications and capabilities that 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.

Nope.

You don’t.

Upgrading/updating that iPad any farther will never, ever be possible.

If your iPad model has been stuck on iOS 10 for all of these past years, then you own an over 8-year old, 2012 iPad 4th generation.

That iPad model cannot ever upgrade beyond iOS 10.3.3/10.3.4.

Your over 8-year old, iPad 4th gen model is too old, now.

Apple ended support for 8-10 year old iPads, at least, over 3 years, ago.

The internal hardware in that iPad is too old, too underpowred and completely incompatible with all later versions of iOS/iPadOS.

Virtually, all third party iOS app developers ended/stopped/abandoned supporting these old iPads over two years, ago.

There are virtually, NO MORE older iOS 9 or 10 compatible apps available from the Apple iOS App Store, any longer.

There are NO MORE popular, useful apps or games for these old iPads, any longer!

Especially games as game makers push for upgrade compatibility for best interactive user and cross device gameplay.

AND, that over 4-year old default iOS Safari Web browser is too old, not secure and not safe to use to access the Internet, any longer.

There are virtually NO MORE third party Web browsers left for 8-10 year old iPads!

Available and more popular third party Web browser choices are pretty much GONE, now.

If you must use these old iPad models, here is what is left for still updated Web browsers.

Pickins’ are slim, now!

ALook Web browser

Dolphin Web browser

Maxthon Web browser

TOR private browser

TOR + VPN private browser

Turbo VPN private browser

Simply put, your 4th gen iPad is too old and obsolete now.

Sorry, but this is the reality for ALL 8-10-year old AND OLDER iOS devices now. Especially going into 2021!

Also, iOS devices DO NOT NEED ANY ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE OF ANY TYPE!

If you need/want an iPad with an up to date iPadOS with access to current, updated apps, then you really need to seriously consider a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, used iPad model capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.

There are plenty of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.

Sorry & Best of Luck to You!

There are no AntiVirus Apps for iOS/iPadOS. Any App/software products for these platforms that claim to provide this functionality are “snake oil” - and should be avoided.

The security architecture of iOS/iPadOS is sandboxed. An App only has visibility of its own storage and memory space. As Apps cannot access other App sandboxes, an AV product can neither access nor scan other Apps or their data.

”Best” is subjective - but the most powerful and full-featured devices are the 2020 iPad Pro (available in both 11” and 12.9” versions).

The 2020 iPad Air4 is arguably a close second with marginally more powerful CPU - but the Air4 cannot match the iPad Pro displays, Camera arrays and audio system.

That iPad is the newest, most recent, base model 8th gen iPad.

It is NOT the “best” iPad, but it will be a big upgrade step for YOU and from that over 8-year old iPad 4th gen you already have.

If you're talking about an iPad 4th generation, it cannot support iOS versions beyond 10.3.3-4, because of hardware incompatibility.

Unless your iPad has been jailbroken, it doesn't need any antivirus app.
