I think that’s not fair because you can’t even watch Netflix on your iPad if it’s an iPad Air too because it doesn’t support Netflix because Netflix needs 16.0 or higher I think you guys need to update these tablets. They’re still in good condition and they shouldn’t be obsolete.

Tell Netflix you need support for your iPad Air 2. It is the
developer's choice which devices and what versions of
iOS/iPadOS they support.
It's not the developers' fault. This measure that Apple took is not fair. They should make IOS updates of different versions for several products in their range that still work and support. For example, iPad Air 2 does not have access to IOS 16.x and stopped at IOS 15.x, and developers want to continue with the progression of IOS. In my opinion, it is dirty capitalism strategies to force a consumer to abandon the obsolete product, forced by the illusion of operating system progress, to buy a new product. This is a vicious cycle.
Sorry, no. iPadOS 15.8 is the most recent update for an iPad Air 2. It did not get any of the iPadOS 16 or 17 versions.
How is this unfair, the ipad air 2 was released 10 years ago
Bro , everyone is not that rich like you that they can afford newer models of apple devices while their old ones are in good working condition.
That really upsets me as I bought 2, ipad2 s brand new with lots of Gigabytes so that my mom and I wouldn’t have to replace them because of memory issues and now this!! Totally unfair!!!

You can still use it via an internet browser.
Your iPad Air2 is capable of update to iPadOS 15.8; the Air2 hardware does not support iPadOS16 or later.
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
iPad5, iPad Pro (9.7"/12.9" first generation) - iPadOS 16.7.2
Newer models are all able to be updated to the current version - iPadOS 17.1
If Netflix cannot be supported for iOS 15, either Apple should provide iOS 16 or should provide older version of Netflix that works with 15. It is unfair that you are forcing people to update when hardware and rest of apps working fine and just decided that you will not support it. Let us choose to continue with older version of Netflix.

Only Netflix can provide the older version of their software. For whatever reasons, they have chosen not to. Apple can't force them to do so.

It’s HORRIBLE! Netflix will not run on my IBM PC/XT that I bought in 1984!

The decision to support specific versions of iPadOS are entirely that of an App Developer - not Apple.
As such, if an App requires a more recent version of iPadOS than your iPad is capable, you need to express your disappointment to the Developer of the respective App:

You can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:
Developers could continue to support older versions of iPadOS if they chose to.

The device no longer meets Netflix's minimum hardware requirements. That's not Apple's fault. Take it up with Netflix. Or, buy a new, inexpensive Android tablet. Or, take the money you would have spent on Netflix and start saving it for a new iPad.
Will Ipad Air 2 get IOS 16?
