iPad Air 32 6th Generation A1893
Can this iPad be updated to iOS 16, please?
I am confused by conflicting reports!
When I check the update it only shows iOS 15.7?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Unlike iOS16 for iPhone, released 12th September, iPadOS16 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.
About the security content of iOS 15.7 and iPadOS 15.7 - Apple Support
While iOS16 is available for iPhone, iPhone owners have the option to just install iOS15.7 at this time.
More information about the forthcoming iPadOS16 can be found here:
When iPadOS16 is released, it will be available for these models of iPad:
- iPad Pro (all models)
- iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
- iPad (5th generation and later)
- iPad mini (5th generation and later)
As such, yes, your iPad will support the iPadOS16.x update - when eventually released.
You are very welcome.
Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to reply. Much appreciated.
