Yes, I was wondering about this. Old iPads running iPad OS 15 received updates last month. So even an iPad Air 2 from 2014 could receive updates in 2026.

The big issue with old iPads though is that apps drop support for older iPad OS versions. Usually their older versions do keep working, though.

I don't remember the model. It waa purchased in 2012. Thrown into the trash circa 2019.

7 years lifespan. My Samsung A7 is nearly there.
