I purchased more GB as the system keeps telling me I don't have enough GB to update the most recent IOS Version. My current IPad Air Version is 10.3.3. Why am I unable to update despite more than sufficient GB ? How do I install the update? I don't have a PC. Thanx
iPad Air, iOS 10
Thank You for your reply LotusPilot! I did suspect that a higher tier of iCloud storage would not solve the problem, but in my despair thought it was worth a try. The problem is that I already have deleted several apps, documents, photos etc. But the system keeps asking for further delete. I tried to delete my mail app, which should have released the needed GB, but nothing happened. Had exactly the same figure as before deleting mail app? If you have a further comment for my problem I would appreciate it. In any case I will certainly study the support pages you sent me. As I see it is also a problem that I have no PC and thus unable to update that way. Thanx again!

Subscribing to a higher tier of iCloud storage does not add internal storage to your iPad; iCloud is Cloud storage - not physical storage on your iPad.
The internal storage of your iPad is fixed for the life of the iPad; it cannot be extended or upgraded.
If your internal storage is full, you must delete data or Apps from the iPad to make space. These support pages may be helpful:
