Ipados 16 Release Will Reportedly Be Delayed By A Month

Apple may delay the release of the next-gen iPadOS 16 by a month, which was otherwise expected to be available for the general audience in September. This is a bit unusual as new iterations of iOS and iPadOS tend to release simultaneously. iOS 16, on the other hand, will be released in September, as per the schedule.

A report by Bloomberg reveals that Apple may release iPadOs 16 in October due to the issues it has been facing with its Stage Manager feature. For the uninitiated, the feature will help enhance the iPad’s multitasking capabilities, allowing users to resize windows as per their choice, open multiple apps simultaneously, and even overlap windows in a single view. And, it brings in external display support.

If the delay is final, it may also coincide with the launch of the rumored iPad Pro with the new M2 chip in October. For those who don’t know, Apple is expected to release the macOS Ventura (which also gets Stage Manager) in October. The new watchOS 16 will be out in September.
