Apple iPadOS 16 gets Oct. 24 release date

Source: Apple

Apple has delayed the release of iPadOS 16 without a definite release date until this announcement. The company will start rolling out the operating system on Monday, October 24. The new iPad and iPad Pro will ship with this latest software. It will come as an update for the base iPads (5th-gen and later), iPad mini (5th-gen and later), iPad Air (3rd-gen and later), and iPad Pro tablets.

The delay was attributed to the buggy Stage Manager implementation, a feature expected to introduce laptop-level multitasking to the iPad. It was initially supposed to be for the M1 iPads, but it is coming to the third- and fourth-generation iPad Pros. One feature that won't be available at launch is the external display support. Apple plans to roll this out through an update later this year. iPadOS 16 will get features like edit or unsend texts in iMessage and a Weather app (finally).

Apple refreshes iPad Pro with the new M2 chip

Apple is also introducing a refresh for its professional line of tablets. The iPad Pro gets the M2 processor the company introduced earlier this year in the MacBook Air. It's expected to be 15% faster than the M1 processor used in last year's iPad Pro. Apple's also bringing a new "hover" feature that detects when the Apple Pencil is slightly above the screen. If you've used a stylus-compatible Samsung, you'll be familiar with this feature. When you hover over an item, you can "see a preview of their mark before they make it." 

According to the company, this should also make it easier to sketch and illustrate with improved precision. Like with Scribble, the text fields will automatically expand when your Apple Pencil is near. It should convert handwriting to text faster, too. Apple says third-party apps could take advantage of the feature.
