Ipad 15.3 update on Ipad Air 2

I downloaded the iPadOS 15.3 update, but whenever I try to install it, it goes on "verifying update" then it says there was a problem installing. Does anyone know how to help?

iPad Air 2, iOS 12

Make sure that your iPad is setup to meet the following requirements before you attempt to update the iOS version over a Wi-Fi Network.

  1. Your iPad must have a fast Wi-Fi connection; you cannot update over cellular data or a cellular hotspot
  2. Ensure that you do not have a beta profile installed from a previous version
  3. The iPad can not be in Low Power mode
  4. The battery state of charge must be above 50%
  5. Your iPad must have at least 6GB or more free storage space
  6. Your iPad cannot be connected through VPN
  7. You should leave the iPad plugged in until it finishes updating, both to assure that it remains above 50% and to keep Wi-Fi enabled (Wi-Fi turns off when the phone sleeps if not connected to power).

Can you, please, confirm what year and model iPad do you have/own?

The “A” model number can be found on the aluminium back of your iPad, in very small print, right under the larger bold print “iPad” on the back of the iPad.

What iOS/iPadOS version is this iPad, currently, running?

What is the rated, internal data storage space/capacity of your iPad model and how much of this free, internal data storage capacity is left inside of your iPad model?

All of that additional info can be found in the Settings app, General settings panel, About.


Please try to make an attempt to answer all questions asked.



Thank You.
