I can’t update my iPad from iOS 13.4 to 15.4and I don’t know how to find any updates in between. Can anyone advise me please. I have an iPad 4 mini

IPad 4 mini currently running iOS 13.4 and I can’t update to the suggested iOS 15. How can I get to an update before that?

iPad mini 4, iPadOS 13

You don't, sorry. When you update, you'll get the latest operating system version (now iPadOS 15.4). See these instructions:


Assuming you're trying to update your device wirelessly, and bearing in mind that to perform such a procedure you need to connect your device to a reliable and fast Wifi Network with Internet access (no cellular data, unless you use a 5G network, no personal hotspot on your device, no VPN connections are admitted, no Low Power Mode enabled, and I suggest that you keep the device plugged into power during the whole update process), read this support article:--> If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update

Keep in mind that, depending on the available storage on your device and/or on your wifi network speed, it might take 30-60 minutes to complete the entire update process.


If the issue persists or if the iOS version currently running on your device is very old, try to update it via computer (if you don't have a computer borrow one from your friends/neighbors, or ask for help at an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider), then learn how to update your device manually if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC.
