iPad not showing iOS 16 update. Despite it being compatible

Why am I not seeing the iOS 16 update? Unlike my iPhone 13 that showed both as an option(15.7 and 16) I didn’t see the option. Is there any way to resolve it?

That’s becaus iPadOS 16 has not been released yet…

It will be released some time in October.

IPad Pro will not show IOS 16, only shows IOS 15.7 as latest SW ? Does anyone know how to get the IOS 16 update onto an iPad Pro, tried resetting and power cycling but still only shows 15.7 as the latest update. iPhone 11 updated without any issues.
