iOS 10

K, certainly at the moment, there is no option to update this ipad model (MD369D/A, whatever that means) to IOS 10, nor my iPhone 4S.

are you saying that ALL hardware is comparible (obviously to varying degrees) and i just need to sit tight for the new OS to become available?

Write your comments here...Hi BB I've included this URL which might make the IOS10 upgrade more understandable.

Perhaps a Moderator will make the URL clickable.- Failing that just copy/paste the url into your browser.

I take your point K, but as with previous operating systems, it takes Apple a while to iron out all the bugs. And the 'bug' with Bluetooth is getting a lot of comment on various forums.

Rather a shame really, when Apple are promoting the use of Bluetooth headphones (there isn't a headphone socket on the iPhone 7).

I'm sure they will come up with a fix.....eventually!

BB - no, I doubt they will ever make iOS compatable with older iPads and iPhone 4 (or earlier). It's Apple's way of telling you to buy a new piece of kit! 

The Bluetooth connection in my car works ok but there seems to be a bit of a delay if someone is calling using what's app I don't know if it's anything to do with the update though.

from the list in the link provided by K above, it would seem that the iphones are only compatible with IOS 10 from the iphone 5 onwards

however, the model number i gave above for my ipad translates (according to google) to iPad Wi-Fi/GSM 3rd Gen, which, according to the same list, compatible

i await any change, i guess the roll out will likely be by device type/model to isolate any group related issues.

for those 'keen' to upgrade, remember that old IT maxim about moving kit onto the 'bleeding edge' of latest software versions

My OH's iPad 2 is stuck on IOS9. something. As BB says "If the new software needs new hardware, you don't need the new software"

My phone now says that iOS 10.1 is available.

I believe thst this was originally intended to add further camera features for the IPhone 7, but amongst the long list of other changes is a fix that deals with bluetooth problems with third party equipment.

This looks like the one I need......must resist trying to update until the rush dies down......

I thought I would share this information on how to do a screen shot on iOS 10, as it is radically different to the previous system, whereby you briefly held down the on off button and pressed the home button. I assume as the home button now wakes up the device, rather than a swipe, they have had to come up with some thing different. You now have to customise a button, which hovers distractingly above everything else, and this takes the screen shot. I don't use them very often, but when I tried to do one today and couldn't, it took a while to sort out. If you have a need the method is as detailed below, copied from an Apple communities support forum:-

- open | Settings | General | Accessibility | AssistiveTouch

- Customize Top Level Menu

- click on one of the existing icons (or add a new one)

- chose "Screenshot"

- return to AssistiveTouch

- turn AssistiveTouch ON. A new icon appears floating above the rest of the items on your display.

- tap the icon to open the Top Level Menu that you just customized.

- tap the Screenshot icon. The Top Level Menu vanishes and the screen flashes to indicate a screenshot has been taken.

SL, I'm running iOS 10.1.1 & the screen grab/shot is as it always has been. Touch home button then tap off button, I've just tried it-pukka

Thanks for that info  Rocky. It definitely does not work on mine, but I have yet to upgrade from the initial version of 10. I will try it once I have updated. Hopefully it will work on my device, because I really don't like this button hovering about.
