![]() ![]() ![]() You can keep using this iPad with little worries. Until then, your year and model iPad running iOS 12 is fine and unaffected by this current security breach. Until such an issue is made known to Apple, such a security update would, most likely, be issued by Apple at the appropriate time. Until Apple is made known of a security issue that affects earlier iOS versions and devices, Apple has no reasons to issue such a security update for its older devices. This security exploit ONLY affects iPad/iPhone models running iOS/iPadOS 13/14.Īpple has been issuing security patches for iOS 12 devices right along and, at times, if needed, for even older devices. Your older iPad, that is forever stuck on some version of iOS 12, currently at iOS 12.5.4, is, currently, NOT affected by any recent security issues.Ĭurrently this security issue does not affect ANY older iPad models still running iOS 12 or earlier. I hope this information provides helpful clarity as to your available options - and the fundamental limitations of your iPad. Sorry, I appreciate that this may not be what you were hoping to learn. Whilst many App titles remain compatible with your iPad, if you want or need to access to Apps requiring the most recent versions of iOS, you’ll need to consider replacement of your iPad with a newer or current model that supports iPadOS14. ![]() Some App developers have dropped support for iOS versions preceding iOS 13.x for technical reasons (often because APIs or software libraries upon which they rely have been updated in the new version of iPadOS, making their App incompatible with earlier versions). These devices cannot be updated to iPadOS 13 (or any later major versions of iPadOS) as the internal hardware does not meet the minimum technical requirements (CPU and RAM) for newer versions of iOS/iPadOS. ![]() The first generation iPad Air, iPad mini2 and mini3 can only be updated to iOS 12.5.4.Īpple ended major update support for these models of iPad in September 2019 - although they since continue to receive “point” security updates - the most recent being released just a few weeks go. Update of an iPad mini2 to iPadOS13+ is simply not possible. ![]()
