Apple recently released the latest iOS 16 operating system for the iPhones, which comes with a major redesign along with new features and functionalities. Breaking its tradition this time, the company didn’t release iPadOS 16 along with iOS.
Now, the company is gearing up to release the new iPadOS for iPad users. According to the report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is all set to release a new iPadOS 16.1 update for all the eligible models in the coming days.
If the rumors are to be believed, then the iPadOS 16.1 will be released on 24th October, and yes, it will be iPadOS 16.1 and not 16 as the company has already confirmed that it will skip version 16 and will directly roll out the 16.1 version.
Do note that Apple has not yet confirmed the launch date for the new version of iPadOS, but Mark Gurman is usually right when it comes to news and developments of Apple. The company had said that it would be released in October but hadn’t provided a specific date.
The new update will be compatible with all the iPad Pro models, the third-generation iPad Air and later, the fifth-generation iPad Mini and later, as well as the fifth-generation of Apple iPad and later.
There are also reports indicating that the Cupertino-based technology giant is planning to announce new hardware products later this month, which will include a new M2-powered iPad Pro model, a new entry-level iPad, and new Apple MacBook Pro models powered by the yet unannounced M2 Pro and M2 Max processors but the date for this launch event has not been announced by Apple.
