Why can’t my iPad air2 be updated with IOS 13 or higher

Why can’t my IPad Air2 be updated with IOS 13 or higher? Is Apple building obsolescence to devices. It works perfect and I have no need for a new one. Keep getting apps saying they will not work even for simple things like paying a card. Guess I will go back to notebook that does not have this issue.


iPad Air, iOS 12

An iPad Air 2 can be upgraded to iPadOS 14. I have an iPad Air 2 running iPadOS 14 right now.


But an iPad Air cannot. An iPad Air cannot be upgraded beyond iOS 12. An IPad Air is not hardware compatible with iPadOS features.
