Can't update iOS on iPad mini

[rainbowcat]

My spouse's iPad mini refuses to update; it just keeps saying that 9.3.5 is all up to date, no matter how many times I restart it. How to get around this please?

Specs: 16GB, Model A1432, purchased 2012.

You can't. Her iPad Mini is as far as it can go. Just like my iPad 3, the maximum version of iOS is 9.3.5. The only way she can update is to buy a new Mini.

Thanks - problem solved. And my very technologically challenged husband is chuckling over the assumption that I'm male and the iPad was my wife's! You've helped me so many times that I can't add to your rep on this post.

Sorry about the gender mixup. We sometimes forget that we have very savvy wives who own Macs. Have a Happy New Year and tell hubby to buy you a nice new iPad Pro.

LOL!!! Happy New Year to you and yours too. I'm still laughing - you made my day!
