Update iPad to ios 16 how



Unlike iOS16 for iPhone, released 12th September, iPadOS16 for iPad is not due for release until sometime in October.  For reasons known only to Apple, release dates for iOS for iPhone and iPadOS for iPad have been deliberately staggered.

However, iPadOS 15.7 was also released 12th September - incorporating essential security updates.
