The iPad Air2, iPad mini4 can be updated to iPadOS 15.7.1 - but do not support iPadOS16.x. iPadOS 16.1.1 is available for these models of iPad:
- iPad Pro (all models)
- iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
- iPad (5th generation and later)
- iPad mini (5th generation and later)
While the iPad Air2 and mini4 cannot be updated to iPadOS16, when updated to iPadOS 15.7.1 they are fully up-to-date with available security updates.
Assuming that Apple continue to release security updates for iPadOS15.x - and they have continued to provide updates for earlier models of iPad only capable of update to iOS12 - you should anticipate ongoing security maintenance for the foreseeable future.
