iPad Pro (2 years old) will not even show the option to update to iOS 16

Two-year old iPad Pro has 170 GB remaining in storage but after downloading iOS 15.7, I am not presented an option to download iOS 16. It says 15.7 and my iPad is up to date. Have tried every work around listed on the web. Even tried by connecting to my MB Air. Same thing.

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.
