![]() Your current 1st gen iPad Mini will still work and continue to receive app updates until sometime this Fall 2017, when, with the introduction of iOS 11, ALL support for older 32 bit iDevices and any iOS 32 bit apps will come to a final end. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. The iPad 2, 3 and 1st generation iPad Mini are all ineligible and excluded from upgrading to iOS 10.
