According to the details from Apple’s iPad licensing agreement, users will be able to get one free major OS upgrade for the device, after which, there is a possibility that Apple might charge you for the upgrade. This means that the iPad ships with version 3.x, you’ll be able to get a free upgrade to version 4.x for free, but whether you are able to get an upgrade to version 5.x and beyond might depend on the size of your wallet. An excerpt from the license agreement reads:
Apple will provide you any iPad OS software updates that it may release from time to time, up to and including the next major iPad OS software release following the version of iPad OS software that originally shipped from Apple on your iPad, for free. For example, if your iPad originally shipped with iPad 3.x software, Apple would provide you with any iPad OS software updates it might release up to and including the iPad 4.x software release. Such updates and releases may not necessarily include all of the new software features that Apple releases for newer iPad models.
