iPad 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular not updating to iOS 9.3.6

There's no iOS 9.3.6 update appearing to my iPad 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular (GSM). Is this update only available to the CDMA version of the iPad 2?

iPad 2 3G

Odd, 3G is a type of cellular network, so yes they should be the same thing.


And yes, the model number corresponds to a cellular iPad 2. Specifically GSM version for AT&T.


Its very strange its not appearing in iTunes either.


Outside of trying again in a couple of days, i'm not sure what else to suggest.


All info from Apple suggests that iPad 2 should be getting the 9.3.6 update.


Here: Apple security updates - Apple Support

@rbrylawski, there was no iPad 2 capable of LTE. LTE didn't exist at the time. So that difference is moot. An iPad 2 Wifi+3G is for all intents and purposes a Cellular iPad.
