If this is truly a 2011 iPad 2, this is an over 10-year old device.

An iPad 2 was introduced in March/April of 2011.

It is too old and completely unsupported , today.

I'll post the guide you need, but here is the low down on a 10-year old iPad 2nd generation.


Apple ended support for all 8-10-year old iOS devices nearly 5 years, ago, in 2016.

Third party app developers abandoned and stopped supporting these 8-10-year old iOS devices nearly 3 years, ago, in 2018.

There are, virtually, NO MORE third party apps available from the iOS App Store, any longer!

Third party compatible apps for such old devices are few and far between, now, in 2021.

This includes apps for both iOS 9 AND iOS 10 devices!


Simply put, a 2011, 2nd gen iPad is too old and obsolete now.

It is NOT worth trying to use this old an iPad.

The over 5-year old iOS Web browser is too old and cannot be trusted to be secure on today’s modern Internet.


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

It's 2021, now.

A WHOLE LOT has happened with iPad and iOS ( now iPadOS ) in the past 5-10 years!


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 purchase of a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, refurbished or used iPad models, from better known, trusted Apple product/device retailers/resellers, some locally or from online, on the Web/Internet, capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.


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


I am sorry that you had to learn all of this, but this does not change any of the facts regarding these very old iOS devices.



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
