Hello all,
This dropped Tuesday, and it seems there is updates for most of the different Apple Devices (see here). This is a big update in that is has a number of resolutions that will impact people but also a number of security fixes as well. These security fixes make it worthwhile to update sooner rather than later.
I did an OTA update of an old iPad Air with no issues. I have a newish iPad Pro 10.5 that I did an update with iTunes and an encrypted backup (which is my recommended way actually - if you have any upgrade issues it is the only method that will have ALL your data protected). I had no issues upgrading this iPad either.
