How do I update my software beyond 12.5.5 on this 10 year old iPad?
iPad Air, iOS 12
An unit running 12.5.5 isn't capable of 13 or above.

You cannot. A first generation iPad Air cannot update past iOS 12.5.5. It's simply too old to run anything newer. Time to consider an upgrade if you really need iOS 13 or later.
Thanks Neil, I had an idea that was the issue. The unit is OLD.
I appreciate it!
Thank you. Time to upgrade to the 9th generation.
I have an IPad Air model ME898LL/A that’s 10 years old. How do I update the software beyond 12.5.5?
