Actually, Apple releases new software versions for the iPhone and iPad at the same time. That shouldn’t happen again this year. While iOS 16 is still expected in September, iPadOS 16 will be released much later. And there’s a good reason for that.

iPadOS 16 is said to be postponed

Many owners of iPads are already looking forward to iPadOS 16, because Apple is again introducing some exciting innovations. Especially “Stage Manager” for the M1 pads plays a crucial role, because with it you can basically use multitasking like on the Mac, where several apps can remain open and can be accessed quickly. But that is exactly what causes delays. Because Apple probably has massive problems with the functionreports Mark Gurman of Bloomberg.

Namely, beta testers and developers have complained about the function since it is unnecessarily complicated to use and also hardly supports any iPad apps. Noisy The Verge even system apps like the iPad’s settings are not optimized for the “Stage Manager” and just crash when the function is started. According to Gurman, Apple should now provide even more development work to complete iPadOS 16, so that the new software can be released in October with a delay of just one month.

iPadOS 16 directly with new M2 iPads?

If iPadOS 16 actually came out later, it might even come out with the new M2 iPads. Apple is said to be working on a new iPad Pro with an M2 processor and a cheap iPad with a USB-C port. Apple has not commented on the rumors when asked by Gurman. By September at the latest, we will see whether iPadOS 16 will appear at the same time as iOS 16 and the new iPhones, or whether you will have to wait a little longer. It depends very much on how quickly Apple gets the problems under control.
