na mom iPad-u zadnja verzija je 10.3.3.

to se čini toliko nedostatno da ne mogu instalirati ni običan YouTube koji koristi valjda milijarda ljudi. čak ni najobičniji online šah ne da mi instalirati.

kako mogu riješiti ovaj banalan problem i nadograditi software barem na 11? hvala

If your iPad is currently running, or cannot be updated beyond iOS 10.3.3/4, then 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. The 32-bit platform upon which the iPad4 is based is obsolete.


Many App Developers have also dropped support for 32-bit devices and older iOS versions that precede iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. Withdrawal of Apps (by the respective Developers) that support 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 Once compatible versions Apps are withdrawn, you’ll not be able (re)download or (re)install them.


YouTube, by example, requires a 64-bit device that supports iOS11 or later - which you iPad hardware simply does not support. It is the Developer who has dropped support for your iPad, not Apple dropping support for the App.


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. All current models support iPadOS 14; even the entry-level iPad8 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.
