iPad Air 2 A1566 did not receive latest security update iOS 16.6.1. Does that mean my iPad no longer will receive security updates?

iPad Air 2 cannot access update 16.6.1; does not indicate receiving update notification.

Your year and model iPad is only capable of any version/s of iPadOS 15

It is NOT compatible with iPadOS 16 and later.

Unless Apple issues some security point update for iPadOS 15, your iPad may not recieve any more security updates from Apple,

Your iPad year and model is almost 9-years old.


Sorry.
