Can you make an iPad 4 run iOS 13?
Is it possible to install the latest iOS software on an iPad 4th generation and be able to download new versions of apps? Through jailbreaking or some other method? Trying to breath some extra life into this device which is trapped at 10.3.3.

Also iPadOS is a different stream of code from iOS is my understanding and it being so new as a concept I hadn't thought of running it on iPad 4... |

Totally understand your want to infuse life into your iPad but, to be honest, I’ve been largely disappointed by Apple’s latest update 13.3. Newer is not always better, and older operating software will still maintain a share of advantages.

The iPad 4 only has a 32-bit processor. There's a reason why it became a paperweight in the 64-bit world.....

Worst case I'll turn it into a web browser, e-reader slash jukebox with whatever apps I can muster. |

You can trade it in for a new one that costs about $200 without trade in. Or cheaper if you go refurbished. Or get a used one that supports the latest OS. If you brought it before December 31st I think they had a promotion for 6 percent daily cash back but you will get at least 3 percent now and you get Apple TV+ free for a year (that's if you buy it from Apple vs. something like eBay or Amazon).
