The word on the street — well, coming from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman — is that Apple is planning to delay the release of iPadOS 16 for a month, breaking what has become a pattern of releasing it at the same time as iOS.
Good.
According to Gurman, moving the release gives Apple more time to streamline the Stage Manager, which in the betas has been buggy, difficult to use, and is also limited to the newer M1 iPads.
Gurman also points out that pushing the release forward by a month brings it closer to the release of the new hardware, which is expected before the end of the year.
