iPad Pro 11 won't update to ios16

Hi, been trying to get my iPad Pro 11 (ios 15.7) to update to ios16.


I've tried:

  • Resetting network settings
  • Restarting iPad
  • Software Update is set to Automatic Updates "On"
  • There's 20 GB free space
  • Under iPad Storage removed Software Update to see if that would force an update (no dice)
  • There's no other profile under the VPN & Device Management and VPN not connected



Any other reason why it will not update to ios 16?


Thanks

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

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.
