That is correct.

Your iPod Touch is a 3rd generation model that cannot be upgraded past iOS 5.1.1.

That is a nearly 10 year old iPod Touch.

If you need an iPod Touch that can run newer versions of iOS, purchase the current iPod Touch 6th generation that can run the current iOS 12.1 version.


Good Luck to You!
