The available version of the Netflix App requires iOS/iPadOS 17 or later. Your iPad mini2 can only be updated to iOS 12.5.7; it does not support iPadOS13 or later.


Unfortunately, your only option is to replace your existing iPad with a much newer or current model that meets the minimum OS requirements.


Many App Developers and service providers only support the current and perhaps one or two preceding major versions of iOS/iPadOS. The Developer determines which versions of their Apps are available for download.


For information, here is a list of the highest version of iOS supported by the older models of iPad (for simplicity - “generations” are shortened to a number) that are restricted in their ability to be updated:


32-bit devices (obsolete)

iPad1 - iOS 5.1.1

iPad2, iPad3 and iPad mini1 - iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models), iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi+Cellular)

iPad4 - iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only), iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi+Cellular)


64-bit devices

iPad Air1*, iPad mini2 and iPad mini3* - iOS 12.5.7

iPad Air2, iPad mini4 - iPadOS 15.8.3

iPad5, iPad Pro (9.7"/12.9" 1st generation)* - iPadOS 16.7.10

iPad6, iPad Pro (10.5"/12.9" 2nd generation) - iPadOS 17.7.5

(*) obsolete


Newer models are all able to be updated to the current version - iPadOS 18.3.2

  • iPad Pro 13" (M4)
  • iPad Pro 12.9" (3rd generation and later)
  • iPad Pro 11" (1st generation and later + M4)
  • iPad Air (3rd generation and later + M2/M3)
  • iPad (7th generation and later)
  • iPad mini (5th generation and later + A17 Pro)
