Is there a 17 version update

I have a 5th generation iPad that will not verify the 16.7.13 update.


I would like to load a VPN to my ipad, and it will not load because it needs a 17 version update to do so.


Is there a 17 version available?

iPad, iPadOS 16

1. Apple pulled 16.7.13.

2. No. 16.7.12, 16.7.13, and any future updates to 16 are only compatible with units incapable of 17 or above.

3. You don't need a VPN unless you're part of a company or school which says otherwise.
