can ipad mini first gen be updated to ios 11

Update iOS 9.3.5 to 11.0.1

No.

(153963)

No.

The iPad 2, 3 and 1st generation iPad Mini are all ineligible and excluded from

upgrading to iOS 10, 11 AND any future iOS versions.

They all share similar hardware architectures and a less powerful 1.0 Ghz CPU

that Apple has deemed insufficiently powerful enough to even run the basic,

barebones features of iOS 10.

Why would you want to upgrade, anyways?

Since iOS 8, older iPad models such as the iPad 2, 3, 4 and the original iPad

Mini have only been getting the most basic of iOS features.

Older iPad users get none of the newest and coolest cutting edge features that

newer model iDevices, with better hardware specs, can handle with more

aplomb.

FYI,

Just because your 1st gen iPad Mini is no longer able to upgrade to the latest

iOS doesn't mean your 1st gen iPad Mini is suddenly useless.

So, your options are really keep using your 1st gen iPad Mini or purchase a new

iPad if you feel you need or want to.

Your current 1st gen iPad Mini will still work and continue to receive app

updates until sometime this Fall 2017, when, with the recent introduction of iOS 11,

ALL support for older 32 bit iDevices and any iOS 32 bit apps will come to a final

end.

Your 1st gen iPad Mini will still work and function as it always has, but will no

longer receive any more app updates after the Fall of 2017.

The 1st gen iPad Mini has had 4-5 years of iOS upgrades/updates

The final app updates your 1st gen iPad Mini will receive will be its last!

Your 1st generation iPad Mini should STILL be receiving app updates for a while longer, but look for this to end.

This is why Apple introduced the new, lower cost 2017 iPad 5 model, in April

Apple is trying to get older iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen Mini iPad users to upgrade to

more modern iPad hardware in anticipation of the recent release of iOS 11, which will render all older

32 bit iDevices obsolete.

Good Luck to You
