iPadOS 17.0.3 and iPadAir 2 15.8
I have been give for Xmas an iPad Air 2.
i have already got an iPadOS 17.0.3.
Is this an upgrade on my old iPad?
iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15
Question marked as
No.
A 2014 iPad Air 2 is forever stuck to some version of iPadOS 15, currently at iPadOS 15.8.
A 2014 iPad Air 2 is too old, but third party apps, from the Apple App Store, are still supported for another year, or so.
Third party app support continues for another 3 years, or so, AFTER Apple ends full OS support for a subset of their devices.
Best of Luck to You!
