Apple is reportedly delaying the release of the iPadOS 16, and it is a significant time before users get their new operating system version from the Cupertino giant. It seems that users outside the beta system and awaiting its public release update from Apple will face a delay on their new OS, with features like the Stage Manager coming later for their use.

Mark Gurman reported via Bloomberg that there is a significant delay for the iPadOS 16, and this is what users have to face in its current release for the world to see. Instead of the expected September release of the OS alongside the iPhone's iOS 16, there would be a delay for the iPad system, and users would have to wait longer for it.

One of the most awaited features here is the Stage Manager, and it only means that the feature will arrive later, together with the new iPadOS 16.

Most of Apple's OS releases for the iOS and the iPadOS come alongside each other, but this might be a different observation for this year, particularly on its 16th version release. According to CNET, this may be the first time that the iOS and iPadOS will not be released as a "tandem."

When is the iPadOS 16 Releasing?

The iPadOS 16 is reportedly releasing by October, and that is a month later than the expected release date for the iOS 16.

Still, it is coming to the world, and Apple did not cancel its arrival for the public to use the new operating system.

The iPadOS 16 brings more to the tablets than the Stage Manager, with different features to come for all.

iPadOS and its Features

The Apple iPadOS 16 first saw light during June's WWDC 22, and it brought new features for the new version coming for the world, with the next-generation features for the users.

There are other OS and updates that WWDC released, with the iPadOS giving users a significant new item to bring for the public to enjoy, focusing on their latest offers for the world.

The digital event announced the iPadOS 16's Stage Manager, and it is one of the most significant features for the iPad to arrive for the new update. While there are other features from the iPad before that feature something similar for the device, the new Stage Manager borders greatly on the multitasking access for the device.

While there are different reviews for the Stage Manager from the public, the new operating system version from Apple is still a highly-awaited update for the iPadOS.

Nevertheless, the delay would mean a significant dispute for the world to see, focusing on its October release for the world, a massive delay to its availability for all.
