iOS13.5 dropped on my iPhone, ( 8Plus) done without a problem ( installed at the time was 13.4.1). It had not yet shown up on my iPad mini 4, so I did a search ( General / Software update, yadda yadda,) done. Likewise my wife's iPhone 8Plus. Her iPad Air 2 purchased with the mini 4, a few years ago, 2016 I believe, listed as still supported, and was on iPadOS 13.3.1, nothing having shown up since so again using Settings / General/ Software Update I went looking..... About a minutes worth of spinning symbol it announced that iPad was up to date with 13.3.1. (??).... I did the customary reboot, same process, same message. Any ideas? I am not and have never been enrolled in an iOS Beta Test

I tried again the following day, updating her iPad with success. It found the update, which needed 'download & Install' which took about 25 min. All now good.

Not good to drop your device. Hope that was insured.

It was the update which dropped, not the device . All good since, and I suspect that it was an Apple server issue. But I'll stay with manual updates for the OS, as I always look here and to a few major periodicals for feedback first. It's saved my bacon a few times. Being a dinosaur with an 'old style' 8+( home button. touch ID) LCD display seems also to avoid issues which the newer designs still seem to stumble over more often. But this hiccup was an older iPad ( Air 2).

I also use a 8+. 250GB storage. Phone world like new.

Ohhh. I always that is called installed.

Here away from the bigger markets, there always is a lag of at least weeks to even a month or more between an update being released by Apple, and it's arrival (pushed.) I know one can use 'Settings/ General /Software Update' to look for and download new updates but I have had much more consistent performance by simply letting the update appear, then simply installing, essentially skipping any need to 'download/install' as one operation. I know I'm not alone among those I know here in the tropics, where internet performance might at times be inconsistent. SO, when a contemporary says it 'dropped' he or she is usually referring to actually seeing a notification badge on the settings icon on the home screen. That's what I wait for before proceeding.

I wait until I read in the forums that there is not any problems before I install the new version.
