The iOS and iPadOS software update system does not give choices or selections. It will always only offer the very latest version that is compatible with your hardware. When it says it is "up to date" it is telling you there is no newer version of the operating system that is compatible with your hardware.


The only option run a newer version of iOS would be to get a newer device.
