![]() This includes apps for both iOS 9 AND iOS 10 devices!ĪND, NO WAY to initially install any older, compatible, third party apps into this old iPad.ĪND, that 5-year old default iOS Safari Web browser is too old, not secure and not safe to use to access the Internet, any longer. Third party compatible apps for such old devices are few and far between, now, in 2021. There are, virtually, NO MORE third party apps available from the iOS App Store, any longer! Third party app developers abandoned and stopped supporting these 8-10-year old iOS devices nearly 3 years, ago, in 2018. ![]() ![]() That iPad model cannot ever upgrade beyond iOS 10.3.3/10.3.4.Īn over 9-year old, iPad 4th gen model is too old, now.Īpple ended support for all 8-10-year old iOS devices nearly 5 years, ago, in 2016. ![]() If your iPad model has been stuck on iOS 10 for all of these past years, then it is possible you own a 9-year old, 2012 iPad 4th generation. Upgrading/updating that iPad any farther may never, ever be possible. I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating the fundamental limitations of your iPad4 and your available options. Of current models, even the entry-level iPad9 supports current iPadOS 15 - and has hardware specifications and capabilities that vastly outperform your old iPad4. If Apps that you need to use now have higher minimum iOS-version requirements, your only option is to replace your iPad with newer model. Whilst there are limited work-arounds for some 64-bit Apps, these are not applicable to obsolete 32-bit hardware. Once compatible versions Apps are withdrawn, you’ll not be able (re)download or (re)install them. Withdrawal of Apps supporting older models of iPad is making their utility and usefulness significantly more limited. ![]() Most (if not all) App Developers have dropped all support for 32-bit devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. The 32-bit platform upon which the iPad4 is based is obsolete. iPad4 cannot be updated to any later major version of iOS as it lacks the minimum hardware requirements needed to run more recent versions. The final iOS releases for this model were iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only models) and iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi & Cellular). Update support for iPad4 ended September 2017. If your iPad is currently running, or cannot be updated beyond iOS 10.3.3/4, then have an iPad4. ![]()
