Unable to download apps on iPad mini with iOS 9.3.5

I have a perfect iPad mini that is a late version which will not allow me to download an app. The screen is not scratched the device is like new. Is there any way I can download previous versions of apps that work with version 9.3.5???

Perhaps those original iPad apps for iOS9.3.5 may be available.


But I'd not bet on it. I've a similar iPad Mini (wi-fi only) that still

works; never made a backup. Yet have worked around a few of

the problems; without restoring any of its apps or iOS.


For the most part, have/had this one for many years, was gifted

to me; still have original box, etc. It works behind a wi-fi router

and gets seen by a 'newer vintage' intel-based Mac mini with

2FA.. While some sites still appear OK (not secure?) some are

not loading; clearly out of their orbit, to say the least.


Guess you could go further, and see what better online repository

sites may appear from a search? I've not seriously done so lately.

Others who've tried, have given up hope a few years ago!

Maybe someone who tinkers more with their vintage model

might reply; as your inquiry could be a novel curiosity now?
