Hey Michel, thank you so much for helping this community so much! Its insane, you're on EVERY apple discussion community. I have a question, could I have the link to the page you use to determine the iPad model you own. Im pretty sure I have a Gen 2 iPad mini stuck on iOS 9.3.5 but I wanna check it out. Who knows, Maybe I could sue apple for selling me an iPad gen 1 for the price of a gen 2!

That is the number for a 1st gen iPad Mini, NOT a Mini 2 model.

The 1st gen iPad Mini is NOT compatible with iOS 10.

Its hardware and cpu (only 1 Ghz) is the same as the iPad 2 and 3 models (which are, also, not compatible with iOS 10, either) and is not a fast enough nor powerful enough to even run the basic functionalities of iOS 10.

The iPad 2, 3 and 1st gen iPad Mini all use 4 year old hardware.


Sorry.
