Hi I am using iPad 4th generation and I can't update to IOS16

I could not update my Ipad 4th generation to later IOS16?

Is there anyway I can update or it is too old to update?

Unlike iOS16 for iPhone, released 12th September, iPadOS16 is not due for release until sometime in October. 


However, iPadOS 15.7 was also released 12th September - incorporating essential security updates.

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