The process involves obtaining and installing a specific operating system version, designated “16,” onto an Apple tablet device. This action updates the device’s software, replacing the existing operating system with the new version. For example, an individual might initiate this action to move their iPad from iOS 15 to iOS 16.
Completing this procedure provides access to new features, security enhancements, and performance improvements inherent to the later software. It can also resolve compatibility issues with newer applications designed for the updated operating environment. Historically, such updates represent Apple’s commitment to ongoing device support and feature enhancement.
