Apps that require recent iPadOS require iPad hardware newer than these models.


iPad 2nd generation from 2011 and iPad 3rd generation from 2012 don’t have the hardware necessary for newer iPadOS and newer apps.


What you do with these is up to you, and they’ll continue to do what they do now, though you’ll find few or no new apps available, and web browsing will be encountering certificate issues if you haven’t manually patched that.


If you want or need newer apps, you’ll need a newer or new iPad. Any recent iPad will be substantially more capable than these models.
