Eventually your iPad will be too old for updates, which is the case with mine. I can no longer update the iPad, and have turned off automatic updates to my apps. I don't update many apps, and then only seldom. One doesn't update unless my iPad is connected to my computer - which I completely don't understand but at least it works. My iPad has been reduced to email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and a few games. Every so often it needs to be completely powered down and left to sit. Since I fly regularly and there is always an electronics reminder, I power down for flights even though I don't have cell capacity.
