There is not an option for me to download iOS 16 on my iPad (I have successfully downloaded it to my iphone). I don’t have a MAC desktop to download it from, like one answer that was given online.
I’d really like these updates on my iPad… any thoughts how I can get them? Is there a link that I can use to download from the cloud or Apple cloud somewhere… ?
I appreciate any thoughts you have.
TIA for your information and insights….
Unlike iOS16 for iPhone (iOS 16.0.3 now current) 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.

While iOS16 is available for iPhone, iPhone owners have the option to just install iOS15.7 at this time.

When iPadOS16 is released, it will be available for these models of iPad:

Use my User Tip:
Updating your iPad Using a Computer:
Aside from updating directly on the iPhone, you can use a Mac or a PC for this as well. So, try doing this using another available computer. See my User Tip: Making Use of a Computer for Updating an iOS Device - User Tip
IMPORTANT:
Backup your iPad First:
Be certain you create a backup of your iPad, prior to the log out, that way you'll have something to restore your iPad from should you need them back.
Hello,
iPadOS 16 is compatible with the iPad (5th generation and later), iPad mini (5th generation and later), iPad Air (3rd generation and later), and all iPad Pro models.
Only the iPhone version of 16 is currently out. Wait until later this month.
