Apple has finally released the highly anticipated iPadOS 16 update for supported iPads which brings with it many new features and improvements from the previous version. Since the initial release was skipped last month, the update comes in the form of iPadOS 16.1 and is rolling out at the same time as iOS 16.1. watchOS 9.1 and tvOS 16.1.

Previously, we reported that Apple is delaying the release of iPadOS 16 to iron out several new iPad features, including ‘Stage Manager’. The new OS didn’t roll out together with iOS 16 last month and iPad users can anticipate getting an update straight to iPadOS 16.1 by the end of October.

iPadOS 16 was unveiled by Apple during WWDC 2022 but the update itself is not coming to iPads until next month. One of the most stand-out features has got to be Stage Manager and it looks like Apple is making a ‘u-turn’ from its previous decision on the feature and will be bringing it into non-M1-powered iPads.

Today, Apple has finally released the new major software updates to every Apple device. This includes iOS 16 (alongside iOS 15.7), iPadOS 15.7, watchOS 9 and tvOS 16. In case you don't see it in your Apple device's settings, just wait for it. 

Earlier this month, we reported that iPadOS 16 may potentially be delayed and not be released together with iOS 16. Now, Apple themselves have come out with a statement to confirm the matter, saying that iPadOS 16 won’t be getting a public release until after iOS 16 has been rolled out to supported iPhones.

The upcoming iPadOS 16 update which was first announced by Apple during WWDC 2022 is expected to be delayed for about a month and will not be released at the same time with iOS 16. This is according to reliable tipster and insider Mark Gurman who got the info from ‘people with knowledge on the matter’.

Previously, we reported that current iPads that are not powered by the M1 SoC will not be getting the ‘Stage Manager’ feature in iPadOS 16 due to certain limitations. However, recently a delve into the OS code on older iPads show that the feature can actually be turned on internally but it is disabled by Apple.

If you've been reading the news this morning, you'll know that WWDC 2022 introduced a lot of new things. Besides new Mac laptops, Apple also unveiled new versions of its software like iOS 16 and macOS Ventura. Of course, iPadOS will also be getting an upgrade to iPadOS 16.
