iPad 2 will not get iOS 10 upgrade. Will I need to run a security program since my iPad will not get any new upgrades, if so what antivirus is the best?
iPad 2, iOS 9.3.5
There aren't any antivirus apps for iPads - as long as you don't jailbreak it you should be ok.
Hi
Ipad 2 cannot run ios 10 its not powerful enough
Ipad mini2 & ipad 4th gen and up can run ios 10
Cheers

Thank you for information, I would like to know what antivirus software I should run, now that Apple will no longer support my iPad 2.
No such product is required.
Is Apple to continue providing security updates on my iPad 2?
You just don't get it, do you.
There is no security threat to you OR your iPad as there are no iOS viruses your iPad csn get, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT JAILBROKEN YOUR DEVICE!
No iDevice has ever been infected by any known viruses or malware.
There is no antivirus apps for iOS.
Your iPad and security is fine.
Apple, in all likelihood, is done supplying any form of updates for the iPad 2, 3 or 1st generation iPad Mini.
The iPad 2, 3 and 1st generation iPad Mini are all ineligible and excluded from upgrading to iOS 10.
They all share similar hardware architectures and a less powerful 1.0 Ghz CPU that Apple has deemed insufficiently powerful enough to even run the basic, barebones features of iOS 10.
Why would you want to upgrade, anyways?
Since iOS 8, older iPad models such as the iPad 2, 3 and 4 have only been getting the most basic of iOS features.
Older iPad users get none of the newest and coolest cutting edge features that newer model iDevices, with better hardware specs, can handle with more aplomb.
The same iPad 2 users who whined and moaned and groaned that both iOS 8 and 9 slowed down the performance of their iPad 2 models would come back, once again, in angry droves, with even more complaints of slowdowns under iOS 10.
Plus, the initial release of iOS 10, at the moment, seems riddled with bugs and undocumented feature omissions that current iOS upgraders are, currently, struggling with.
FYI,
Just because your iPad 2 is no longer able to upgrade to the latest iOS doesn't mean your iPad 2 is suddenly useless.
Your iPad 2 will work as it always has and the apps you have installed on it will continue to update and receive some level of app updates relevent to your current iOS.
You have had four years of iOS upgrades and updates.
Your iPad 2 will still do everything it does now and you will, get, at least, another full year, perhaps two, if you decide to you want to wait longer to get a new or newer iPad model.
Your iPad 2 is NOT suddenly becoming obsolete.
Good Luck to you!
Michel, I was concerned that my iPad 2 security would not be sufficient in the future. I know that Apple provides great security for my machines, I was unsure about my iPad 2. I just bought a iPad Air 2. Thanks everyone for replying on my post.
Hi
