As the A8 and A8X iPads aren’t dropped in 14, I think it will get 15.

Dropping two releases at the same time isn’t a common thing and with the iPad 2/3 and iPhone 5s/6, there was a reason for it.

I wonder if the virus situation might’ve got every device an extra year of support for a while.
 
The 5th has been a great device. I do notice some lag lately, possibly in maintaining current IOS and app levels. But if 15 impacts performance, I wouldn't mind staying behind as not really using recent features anyway.
