Unlike iOS16 for iPhone, released yesterday, iPadOS16 is not due for release until sometime in October. 


However, iPadOS 15.7 was also released yesterday - incorporating essential security updates.

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