iPad version 7 does not update to IOS 16

My version 7 iPad has updated to iOS 15.7, However, will not update to version 16. I have 61 GB of memory remaining out of 128 GB.


I have rebooted the iPad several times and attempted installing through iTunes without success. I have also attempted to remove iOS 15.7. However, 15.7 will not uninstall. I have also tried to install with and without power connected to the device.


Suggestions are appreciated.

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.
