There you go folks, this is iOS 16 compatibility list. Did your device made the cut? Let us know in the comments below.
I have two iPads, one is a 9.7-in. iPad Pro 1st generation, with 128GB of remaining space and the other is a 10.2-inch iPad 8th generation, with 16.5GB of remaining space. Both have iOS 15.7 installed and both WILL NOT upgrade to iOS 16. The both say they are “up to date”! Why will neither one update, even though both are on the list that will allow updates to iOS 16?
Apple has not released iPadOS 16 yet. Only iOS 16 is available for iPhones. iPadOS 16 will be released later this month. You should be able to download the updates then. Read this post for more details https://ioshacker.com/news/wheres-ipados-16-update-ipados-16-not-showing-heres-why
Hi, do you have advice for people who want to continue using their non-updateable phone or iPad without it becoming unusable? Would be great to give advice to prevent / block app updates which would then prevent the user from being able to use the app, if that is possible. Many thanks for the info!
