How much longer can an iPad Air 2 be used?

I have an iPad Air 2 that is Wi-Fi & data-capable with 64gb. How much longer will I be able to use it and what is the most current update that it can be upgraded to? There is nothing wrong with it & is in pristine condition. I’m trying to decide whether to sell it, use it as a home hub, or use it as a paperweight, lol… I’d appreciate any advice on this matter.

Thanks in advance!

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15

The iPad Air 2 cannot be updated beyond iPadOS 15.8. The current iPadOS is 17.2 and that cannot be installed on the iPad Air 2.

You can continue to use it. The problem that you might eventually encounter is if you want an app that requires an iPadOS version later than 15.8.
