You can not update to .2, .3, or .4, but you should update to iOS 9.3.5

    My iPad 2 (32GB wifi-only) has run better with ALL version of iOS 9 than it ever did with iOS 8.X. It is now running iOS9.3.5 without issue. I never use "over-the-air" updates, rather connecting the iPad to a Mac running iTunes and doing all backups and upgrades via iTunes.

    Beleive it or not, I think Apple did some other things with this last iOS 9.3.5 release because my 64 GBs iPad 2 (with approx. 20 GBs of free storage space left) seems to be, actually, much more snappier than it has been on previous iOS 9.x updates.

    My iPad 2 on iOS 9 up until this last, emergency/security update, has been running fine with nary an issue, but not as fast as it had been on iOS 6 AND 7.

    All of a sudden, my iPad 2 seems to be back to much more snappier operation!

    No way or reason to know why!

    I wonder if there was more undocumented stuff done in this security update than just plugging a security hole?

    It's a pretty noticeable difference.

    Can't explain it!...
