This iPad ran out of storage space back in 2023 but struggled on for a while as a YouTube player around the house.
Recently it started crashing, I think because the storage space was totally gone (like 200 MB free).
I’ve finally wiped it and reset it, this time NOT connecting it to my Apple ID account. Planning to keep it lean for content consumption.
Here’s my problem. It’s running iPadOS 16.6.1, which came out in 2023. That was the last time I had enough storage space to update.
I would like to now update to the latest iPadOS 16 version, which is currently 16.7.12. But I am given no way to do this.
My only option in Settings > General > Software Update is to upgrade to 18.7.1. I presume that will be dog-slow on an iPad this old.
Is there any way to update to the latest iPadOS 16? Why wouldn’t Apple let me get all those security updates?
