Apple plans to delay the launch of iPadOS 16 until October, which means the iPad software won’t launch with iOS 16 in September as it usually does, reports bloomberg,
Apple is developing a new multitasking feature for the iPad called Stage Manager, with an option designed to provide a Mac-like multi-window multitasking experience. The delayed launch of iPadOS 16 is said to be partly due to the implementation of Stage Manager as Apple is still working on the bugs. The delayed launch will allow Apple more time to finish iOS 16, and then the company will be able to work on iPadOS 16.
Stage Manager is limited to the M1 iPad Pro and iPad Air models, and is not available on older iPads, which has caused some controversy. Apple says it’s not possible to provide an acceptable multitasking experience on older iPads, hence the limitation.
Since Apple split iPadOS into its own operating system in 2019, the iPadOS release has largely been tied to the iOS release, with software updates for the iPhone and iPad launching at the same time. The delayed launch of iPadOS 16 will mark a departure from Apple’s standard release plans.
The introduction of iPadOS 16 in October means the software will be timed to launch closer to the new iPads. Apple is developing a new M2 version of the iPad Pro with an iM2 chip, and an entry-level iPad with a USB-C port, both expected to debut later this year.
