I’m on 18.1.1 with a 4-ish year old iPad Air. I can’t update it any further, even for important security updates, because the storage is too full. I can’t get it to release the 10GB it needs, which is really annoying because there is more than 10GB of photos and videos stored locally that are all also in iCloud, but if I delete them from the pad they delete from iPad too. It does have its own ideas about when to offload stuff but it is far too conservative about doing so.
