Ios in ipad 2. When ios 6 is released later today you should be able to update either via settings general software update i haven t seen anything that says you can t update to ios 6 directly on the ipad or via your computer s itunes but doing it directly on the ipad should just download the parts of the update that are needed i e. Uses for obsolete ipads. Ios 6 was the best ios by the way but if you re looking to use the device than i can t recommend it.

Do make a backup of your device on itunes or something similar so that you can roll back the os when and if you upgrade or decide you don t need the device anymore. While the os runs on the device most of its new features do not work because of relatively aged hardware and therefore its performance is limited. Check with your carrier for compatibility and 3g data plan availability.

I would recommend 8 4 1 as ios 6 0 1 is too old to do much of anything and the experience on ios 9 with an ipad 2 is terrible.
