When does iPadOS 16 come out?

The month of September is approaching, and that means that the launch event of the next iPhone is just around the corner, which also means the launch of the final versions of the new operating systems. However, Apple this time has different plans for iPadOS, or rather, it has been forced to have different plans. We tell you everything in this post.

iPadOS 16 is delayed

The arrival of the month of September always entails, in addition to the launch of new devices, the launch also of the different Apple operating systems such as iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. While it is true that sometimes the operating system for Apple computers has been delayed and played individually, the rest have always been available at the same time. However, this is something that will change in this year 2022.

iPad OS

Obviously, both iOS, watchOS and tvOS will be available the week after the launch of the new iPhone and Apple Watch, but there is doubt as to when the date chosen by the Cupertino company for the iPadOS 16 release, since it could be delayed until October or November, this being the first time that it does not come out with its “brother” iOS. At the moment Apple has only stated that it will be released after iOS 16, but has not specified a specific release date.

Reasons for possible delay

All this information stems from a rumor that has come out about one of the new functions that the new operating system dedicated to the iPad has and will have. The famous Stage Managerthat is, this new way of managing the open windows that iPads with M1 chip and later will have when iPadOS 16 is installed doesn’t seem to work as well as Apple would likeThis being one of the possible reasons why Apple takes longer than usual to release the final version of iPadOS.

Another possible reason why Apple would want to delay the release of iPadOS 16 is the possible launch also of new iPad in the month of October. All the rumors indicate that the Cupertino company will hold a new event on those dates, so perhaps, if these iPads have exclusive functionality, it is possible that Apple will delay the launch of this version so as not to give any clues and advance news before present them at the event.

It really makes perfect sense that, just like iOS 16 comes out at the same time the new iPhones are released, iPadOS 16 also comes out at the same time as the new iPads are released. In fact, it is possible that Apple will take this as usual and this will be the first year of the new launch policy of the Cupertino company. However, and taking into account that the most outstanding novelties of iPadOS 16 are exclusive to iPads with M series chips, many users will be practically indifferent to the launch of this version given the unremarkable novelties it has for the rest of Models. Of course, as we always say, this is nothing more than rumours, since we will have to wait for Apple to rule on this possible delay in the launch of iPadOS 16.
