Update ipad air 2 to ios 11?
As the title says, should I update my iPad air 2 from ios 10.3.3 to ios 11.4? I'm always really sceptical about updating an older device to a newer firmware as i'm afraid the performance could be worse. Thanks in advance!- Lucamassaro

iOS 12 on iPads
Let’s talk about the perfomance of this new iOS on the iPads! Is it good? How about the older iPads like the Airs? Since the status bar was redesigned on iPads, should we wait for a new iPad with a notch? What would you think about that?- To_Batistone

So believe it or not, my iPad Air 2 is still on the factory iOS 8.4.1.

Hello, I just noticed this. There's no voice to speak Apple Maps directions. The search works, the directions appear but no voice.
