Apple is about a month away from introducing the stable version of iOS 16 to everyone, but this will not be the case with iPadOS 16. A previous rumor suggested that the company will delay the launch of iPadOS 16 by a month and this information has now confirmed.
DELAYED! When will iOS 16 be released & What features are missing?
Apple has just released the iPadOS 16.1 beta update to developers and has revealed that iPadOS 16 will be released after iOS 16. This essentially means that Apple will release iPadOS 16.1 to the public instead of iPadOS 16.0.
In a statement to TechCrunch, Apple said: "This is a particularly big year for iPadOS. As its own platform with features designed specifically for iPad, we have the flexibility to deliver iPadOS on its own schedule. This fall, iPadOS will ship after iOS, as 16.1 in a free software update."
However, there is no word on when this will happen. Rumors suggest an October launch, possibly alongside macOS Ventura. In addition, new iPad models with the latest M2 chip are also expected to launch in the same month, and releasing iPadOS 16 around the same time seems like a logical choice.
