Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
The new iOS16 not showing up for my iPad Mini 5th Gen.
I've tried restarting, resetting network settings, trying to upgrade in the finder App connected to an iMac. I have about 6 GB free of 64GB.
I can only upgrade to iPadOS15.7
Any suggestions?

Correct. Unlike iOS16 for iPhone, released 12th September (followed by iOS 16.0.1 on 16th September - and iOS 16.0.2 on 22nd 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.
