I think that’s not fair because you can’t even watch Netflix on your iPad if it’s an iPad Air too because it doesn’t support Netflix because Netflix needs 16.0 or higher I think you guys need to update these tablets. They’re still in good condition and they shouldn’t be obsolete.

Tell Netflix you need support for your iPad Air 2. It is the
developer's choice which devices and what versions of
iOS/iPadOS they support.
Sorry, no. iPadOS 15.8 is the most recent update for an iPad Air 2. It did not get any of the iPadOS 16 or 17 versions.
How is this unfair, the ipad air 2 was released 10 years ago

You can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:
Developers could continue to support older versions of iPadOS if they chose to.
Your iPad Air2 is capable of update to iPadOS 15.8; the Air2 hardware does not support iPadOS16 or later.
For information, here is a list of the highest version of iOS supported by the older models of iPad (for simplicity - “generations” are shortened to a number) that are restricted in their ability to be updated:
32-bit devices (obsolete)
iPad1 - iOS 5.1.1
iPad2, iPad3 and iPad mini1 - iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models), iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi & Cellular)
iPad4 - iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only), iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi & Cellular)
64-bit devices
iPad Air1, iPad mini2 and iPad mini3 - iOS 12.5.7
iPad Air2, iPad mini4 - iPadOS 15.8
iPad5, iPad Pro (9.7"/12.9" first generation) - iPadOS 16.7.2
Newer models are all able to be updated to the current version - iPadOS 17.1

You can still use it via an internet browser.

That really upsets me as I bought 2, ipad2 s brand new with lots of Gigabytes so that my mom and I wouldn’t have to replace them because of memory issues and now this!! Totally unfair!!!
The decision to support specific versions of iPadOS are entirely that of an App Developer - not Apple.
As such, if an App requires a more recent version of iPadOS than your iPad is capable, you need to express your disappointment to the Developer of the respective App:

It's not the developers' fault. This measure that Apple took is not fair. They should make IOS updates of different versions for several products in their range that still work and support. For example, iPad Air 2 does not have access to IOS 16.x and stopped at IOS 15.x, and developers want to continue with the progression of IOS. In my opinion, it is dirty capitalism strategies to force a consumer to abandon the obsolete product, forced by the illusion of operating system progress, to buy a new product. This is a vicious cycle.
Yes
Will Ipad Air 2 get IOS 16?
