no BT connections possible with my IPAD device (model A1430, IPAD 2012 serie).

none of my Bluetooth accessories can pair with my IPAD device (model A1430, IPAD 2012 serie). What can I do? Device records the BT accessories, but does not want to pair with them.. is my device too old?

Your 3rd generation iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) model cannot use an iOS version greater than 9.3.6. This version is now seven years old.


So newer Bluetooth devices may find the hardware and/or software too old to pair.
