In addition it is best to upgrade an iDevice connected up to a computer running iTunes with you iDevice sync'd and backed up through iTunes rather than Over The Air (OTA) using a wireless WiFi connection.

Ideally, your iDevice should maintain a minimum free storage amount of 4- 6 GBs or greater on any iDevice (the more free space, the better), plus, more than 50%-60% battery status to ensure proper operation, as well as, to ensure the possibility of a successful iOS upgrade/update installation. If, you decide to upgrade your iPad 2 to iOS 9, here is the best and most reliable method. I, almost, exclusvely use a third party iOS web browser instead and have no issues like the ones you probably encounter with Safari for iOS.Ĭheck out the iOS App Store to try and find a third party developed web browser that works and functions for the way you surf the web and how you, generally, operate a web browser.

I stopped regularly using the iOS version of Safari over 4 years ago as I found it had too many issues/problems/limitations with some websites I regularly visit.

If you do not like the idea of upgrading to iOS 9 to get just a new version of Safari( as a growing minority of users are reporting a variety of performance issues with iOS 9), you CAN download and use other third party web browsers that may not have the same website limitations as the iOS version of Safari. That could get you a performance hit as the Air only has 1GB of RAM.You need to upgrade to the latest version of iOS 9 to get an updated Safari. You might want to avoid opening several tabs in Safari and trying to run multiple Apps. There's a slight lag when scrolling up in the App Store but I also get a little bit of that with my 2018 iPad. Why not check out some of the YT videos to see how the Air runs on iOS 12. I can now run the latest Apps and some of features in iOS 12 on my Air. So that's acceptable for me because I turn on Reduce Motion and the UI smooths out when closing an App. I now take a slight hit (slight stutter when closing an App window) on the Air if I don't turn on Reduce Motion. But even comparing the two in the Air environment meaning no multi-tasking Apps, no PIP etc, the performance of both is still pretty close. This year I purchased the 2018 iPad because Amazon was selling them for $229. So I returned the 2017 iPad and kept my Air. I upgraded my Air from iOS 10 to iOS 11 and it was pretty close in performance I used them bought like the Air, meaning no multi-tasking PIP, that sort of stuff.

Last year I bought the 2017 iPad and it was running iOS 11.

I'll give you an idea how the Air performs with iOS 12. The App Store was a lot smoother in iOS 10, it was about the same in iOS 11 and is much better in iOS 12 on my Air. Keep in mind there was major lag and stutters in iOS 7.1.1 in the UI and App Store. I was running iOS 7 up until the release of iOS 10 and I watched several YT videos and took a gamble. My advice is if you use your Air running iOS 12 as you do in iOS 8 then you shouldn't be disappointed. That could get you a performance hit as the Air only has 1GB of RAM.
