Anything that can run iOS or iPadOS 13 can also run version 14 so 13 is effectly out of circulation. No device capable of running 13 would be offered anything in the settings update window other than 14 or 15.


Just FYI so you know that the only devices running iOS 13 would be ones updated from iOS 12 or newer, and not updated since that version 13 update.

What Ipads can run IOS 13 or later
