What web browser can I install on my iPad mini 1?

The iPad Mini 1 is from 2012 and is, permanently, stuck on iOS 9.3.5/9.3.6.

That is a 10-year old iPad that ended ALL its support by 2018.

There are, almost, no more third party apps available for very old iPad models, now.

Take a look at ALook Web browser ( A fairly “new-ish” Web browser primarily designed for old iOS device versions, but is still available to newer iOS/iPadOS devices, as well ) The ONLY “new-ish” Web browser I recommend for any old/er iPad models at this late timeframe!

While the only iOS 9 compatible Web browser I will recommend, at this very late date, this Web browser can be somewhat slow on more modern coded Websites.

You need to realise,

Third party app developers abandoned and stopped supporting these 10-11 year old iOS devices 4 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 2022.

This includes apps for both iOS 9 AND iOS 10 devices and, throughout 2022, ALL iOS 12 ONLY devices!

AND, NO WAY to, initially, install any older, compatible, third party apps into this old iPad, any longer!

NO MORE SUPPORT! NO MORE APPS!

All 2011-2012 iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen iPad Mini models are fully and completely unsupported AND obsolete!

Sorry, but this is the reality for ALL 10-11-year old AND OLDER iOS devices now. Especially now, in 2022.

In addition, the internal, rechargeable batteries in these old iPads are, also, running on borrowed time.

Not worth the costs to replace these old internal, rechargeable batteries in these old iPads, any longer, either.

Also, any Web browser from 2016-2018 is now too old and no longer secure to be trusted to use on today’s modern Internet.

Also, these very old iPad models have NO trade-in NOR any resale value, either.

Sorry.

While these old iPad models still have some still working, useful features ( photo library, music and video consumption, eBook reader using iBooks and can still be used for notes with that old version of the free iOS Notes app and some limited and slower Web surfing ), these old iPad models are very far behind and very underpowerd for even modern, everyday tasks.

I am not even sure you can even use the old Mail app, any longer with current online email services!

Consider that it is the Fall of 2022, now.

iPadOS 16.1 is here!

Your iPad is a full 7 OS iterations behind, now.

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 afford to purchase older, less expensive iPad models, look at older iPads from 2015 and later.

All of these older model iPads below, CAN, currently, run the latest releases of iPadOS 16.

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 iPad Pro models ( 1st gen Pencil support )

2017, 9.7 inch screen iPad 5th gen models ( NO Pencil support )

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 )

2019, 7.9 inch screen iPad Mini 5th gen models ( 1st gen Pencil support )

Get the largest internal data storage model you can afford as NO Apple iOS device has ANY 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!
