Apple now has released a total of 37 different iPads, and it's getting harder to keep them straight. So this user tip is aimed at maintaining a list divided by sub line, that includes screen size, CPU, release year, charge port type, Apple Pencil model it is compatible with if any, discontinuation date and iOS / iPad OS versions they can run now.

Here are some things to try if you can't install the latest version of iOS: Download the update again: Go to Settings > General > [Device name] Storage. Find the iOS update in the list of apps. Tap the iOS update, then tap Delete Update. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and download the latest iOS update.
The iPad 2, 3 and 1st generation iPad Mini are all ineligible and excluded from upgrading to iOS 10, 11, 12 or any other future versions of iOS.

I have an iPad running iOS 9.3.5. I want to upgrade to the latest version of iOS 14. When I go to Settings > General > Software Update, I get the msg "Checking for Update." Then I get another msg that says "iOS 9.3.5 Your software is up to date." But I do not want/care to update my current iOS 9.3.5 software because it is woefully out of date.
