Question
Why does Jamf School and the device show no available update when trying to update the iPad?
Answer
This occurs when the device is at its maximum supported iOS version. For example, older models like the 1st generation iPad Air cannot be updated beyond a specific iOS version due to hardware limitations.
To check the maximum OS supported for a device, use resources like iOS Reference, which lists the highest iOS versions available for each model.
This confirms whether the device is fully updated or if it cannot update further due to being at its hardware limit.
