You don’t.

You you own a nearly 7, 8 or 9-year old iPad.

These old iPads have internal hardware is too old, underpowered and completely incompatible with any current and future versions of iOS.


Sorry. It is what it is.


If you need an iPad that can run the latest and greatest versions of iOS, as well as, the most current appsavailable, then, you will need to purchase a new iPad from Apple or a discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple’s Refurbished & Clearance section of Apple’s Website.


Best of Luck to You!
