It’s here. You can now download iOS 9 on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system will run on any iDevice from 2011 or later. That means if you have an iPhone 4S or later, an iPad 2 or later, or a fifth- or sixth-generation iPod Touch, you are good to go.

If your iPad 2 is still running fine with iOS 8 and your devices is still receiving app updates, forget about upgrading to iOS 9 and put off having to upgrade to iOS 9 for as long as possible. Keep your iPad 2 on iOS 8.4.
