Apple To Release iPadOS 16 A Month After iOS 16

🗞

According to some reports, Apple is planning to delay the release of iPadOS 16, to about a month after the release of iOS 16. Ever since Apple split iOS and iPadOS, historically, updates for both softwares have gone out at the same time. However, if the reports are to be believed, this will change with the upcoming OS. While iOS will release in September as usual,the new iPadOS will roll out a month later, in October. According to Bloomberg who first reported this,the information was provided by “people with knowledge in the matter”who asked not to be identified as the deliberations were still private.The reason for this is apparently the new Stage Manager multitasking system that’s built into iPadOS 16. This is a complete overhaul of the way iPad manages multitasking.It’s taking longer than expected to develop which has resulted in the supposed delay. Stage Manager was criticized by some developers during the beta testing phase of the new OS.
