I am going to give you truth and facts about your iPad, in my reply.
Your “A” model of your iPad corresponds to an over 9-year old, 2012 iPad 3rd generation
That iPad year and model is too old and obsolete, now in 2021, and I advise you not even bother taking any more time and energy to get this iPad operational.
A complete reset of this old iPad will render this old iPad pretty much a useless device.
You will lose any data on this iPad and you will permanently lose any older third party apps that were installed on this device.
There are almost no older, third party compatible apps for any iOS 9 and 10, or older, devices, any longer.
And NO WAY to initially install any older, compatible, third party apps into this old iPad.
Sorry.
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!
NO MORE SUPPORT! NO MORE APPS!
AND, that nearly 5-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 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 ( A fairly new Web browser primarily designed for old iOS device versions, but is still available to newer iOS/iPadOS devices, as well ) I recommend this “new-ish” Web browser for old iPad models.
Dolphin Web browser
Maxthon Web browser
TOR private browser
TOR + VPN private browser
Turbo VPN private browser
This is pretty much it for iOS 9/10 compatible device, up to date, third party Web browsers today, in 2021.
Simply and bluntly put, a 3rd 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 now in 2021!
There is one last thing you can try/attempt, if you need older versions of apps.
If you own much newer iOS device that can run either iOS 12 and.or iOS/iPadOS 13 and later, you can install the most recent app/s onto that more recent iOS device.
Then go back to your older iPad, open the iOS App Store, go to the Purchases section of the store app, search for the app/s you wish to try and download to that older iPad and see if an older version of the app is allowed to be downloaded/installed to that older iPad.
These newer iOS/iPadOS devices must use your same Apple ID user account and password as the older device you ard trying to get an older app for.
Failing that OR IF NO joy, then there is nothing more to be done.
It's 2021 now!
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.
If you need OR ONLY able to purchase older, less expensive iPad models, look at older IPads from 2014 and later.
All of these older model iPads, below, CAN run the latest iPadOS versions and the up and coming iPadOS 15.
2014, 9,7 inch screen iPad Air 2 models
2015, 7.9 inch screen iPad Mini 4 models
2015-2017, 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro models. ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2016, 9.7 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2017,10.5 inch screen iPad Pro models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2017, 9.7 inch screen iPad 5th gen models
2018, 9.7 inch screen iPad 6th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2019, 10.2 inch screen iPad 7th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )
2020, 10.2 inch screen iPad 8th gen models. ( 1st gen Pencil support )
Get the largest internal data storage model you can afford as NO Apple iOS device has expandable storage.
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!
