IPadOS 16

iPadOS 16 is the next major release of the iPadOS mobile operating system that is reportedly in development at Apple to succeed iPadOS 15. It is expected to be announced at the 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference in June and released sometime later in 2022.

Supported devices
Like had been predicted (incorrectly) for iPadOS 15 in the previous year, Apple is reported to be limiting compatibility to devices using the Apple A10 "Fusion" processor or later, eliminating support for the following models: Due to the iPod touch 7 being discontinued, which apple discontinues when the iPod cannot handle the next iOS launched in WWDC, the A10 Fusion models or the 2 GB RAM models may be discontinued. It is commonly stated that it will require 3 GB RAM higher.
