By Mitch Bartlett 0 comments Last updated March 15, 2021

Are you clamoring to get the latest iOS 14/iPadOS 14 update installed on your device? But when you go to Settings > General > Software Update, you aren’t prompted to update? We cover the reasons why.

iPadOS 14 Update Prompt

What happens is the updates are rolled out to certain devices slowly depending on which time zone your device is in. Here is a list of possible times.

  • Honolulu, Hawaii — 7:00 a.m. HAST
  • Anchorage, Alaska — 9:00 a.m. AKDT

Please note that there is no guarantee your device will surely receive the update at the time above. The servers are quite overwhelmed with requests and it may take a bit longer than expected.

Also ensure your device is compatible with the iOS 14/iPadOS 14. iPadOS 14 will be available for quite a few devices. Here’s the full list:

I have been working in IT for over 25 years. As a child, I delighted in tinkering with radios, VCRs, and TVs—a passion that still resonates with me today. I possess an extensive array of TV and music streaming tech, fostering my ongoing fascination with these innovations, which I enjoy documenting through my writing. When I’m not engrossed in technological pursuits, I enthusiastically support my Chicago Bears or the Chicago Cubs. Additionally, I indulge my passion for collecting baseball cards, amassing a collection that some might consider excessive.
