Hi, I successfully updated my 5th generation iPad mini to iOS 15.7 today, but don’t see an option to update to iOS 16. It’s on the compatible list. Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance,
Bonnie

Additional information and clarification…
Unlike iOS16 for iPhone, released yesterday, iPadOS16 is not due for release until sometime in October.
However, iPadOS 15.7 was also released yesterday - incorporating essential security updates.

While iOS16 is available for iPhone, iPhone owners have the option to just install iOS15.7 at this time.

Hi bornitz,
Thank you for reaching out!
As mentioned during the recent September Apple Event (https://youtu.be/ux6zXguiqxM), iPadOS 16 is scheduled for release in the month of October 2022. However, if you are a registered developer -- or public beta tester -- you can gain early access to iPadOS 16. To find out more about the Apple Beta Software Program, please refer to this link: Apple Beta Software Program
Have a great day! :)
Please note that beta software is likely to contain bugs/glitches and enrolling your device in the Apple Beta Software Program is at your own risk.
It's not out yet. Check again in October.
