IOS 14 update
IOS 14 update for iPad doesn’t show up as an available update. It says that the software is up to date with IOS12.5. Why is that?
This will never, ever be possible.
If your iPad model has been stuck on some version of iOS 12 for awhile, then you own an over 7-year old, 2013 iPad Air 1st generation.
That iPad model cannot ever upgrade beyond ANY version of iOS 12, currently at iOS 12.5.
Apple ended support for that midel of iPad over a year ago.
The internal hardware in that iPad is too old and underpowred and is not capable of running all of the new, advanced and internal hardware resource intensive features of iPadOS.
Sorry.
If you need/want an iPad with an up to date iPadOS with access to current, updated apps, then you really need to seriously consider a new iPad model OR a much “newer” , used iPad model capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.
There are plenty of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
