Updating older iPad mini2?? I've read many online posts but I haven't found the answer I'm looking for. If I have an iPad Mini2 with iOS 9 or 10 installed, can I currently update it to iOS 11 or 12? I know that, in theory, the device can take iOS 11 or 12; and I know that it can't take anything above iOS 12. I'm asking if the iOS 11 or 12 is still available as an update.

No. An unit on 12.5.7 isn't capable of 13 or above; for an iPad mini, it's a second or third generation model.
