Apple’s upcoming iPadOS 16 tablet operating system update has reportedly been pushed back to October.
The latest versions of iOS and iPadOS usually launch at the same time, but according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPadOS 16 release is being delayed due to issues with “Stage Manager.”
iPadOS 16’s Stage Manager is the operating system’s missing link. I’ve been playing around with it for the past few weeks and it’s finally made multitasking intuitive on the iPad. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great start. pic.twitter.com/NtfnrYkEVP

For what it’s worth, I really like Stage Manager. It’s not perfect, especially when you have more than three apps open at once, but it feels like the first version of iPad multitasking that’s intuitive and desktop-like. Stage Manager allows users to run up to eight applications simultaneously in variable-sized windows that can be layered.
Gurman says that Apple pushing iPadOS 16 back to October will result in the update dropping closer to when the new M2-powered iPad Pro will reportedly be released. Apple is also rumored to have plans to move the entry-level iPad to USB-C, along with the rest of its tablet lineup.
iOS 16 is still expected to be released in September.
