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.

12.5.7 is still available in the Software Update function in Settings or from a computer. 11 isn't.


An iPad mini on 9.3.6, and most of those on 9.3.5, are first generation models and incapable of 10 or above.
