There is still a lot of Apple news to be found even though the craziness of the conference has ended. The new Stage Manager multitasking mode in iPadOS 16 and the launch of pre-orders for the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 chip caused a lot of controversy this week.
Ahead of the release of the new MacBook Pro, we're learning more about the M2 chip from early benchmarks, while we're still looking ahead to the launch of the iPhone 14 lineup later this year.
Stage Manager is one of the new features in iPadOS 16. Stage Manager allows users to use up to four apps on the iPad and up to four on an external display at the same time.
The latest iPad Pro and iPad Air are the only iPad models with Stage Manager. Craig Federighi, Apple's software engineering chief, commented on the matter in a series of interviews.
Stage Manager on older iPads may have been used by Apple engineers to test the feature during development, according to reports.

The new 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 chip can be ordered worldwide. Delivery to customers will begin on Friday, June 24.
The new MacBook Pro has the same design as the previous model with the addition of the M2 chip. If you already own an M1 MacBook Pro, you should check out our comparison guide to see if the new M2 model is worth the upgrade.
The MacBook Air with the M2 chip is available next month.
We're not sure when Apple will announce the new lineup of the phone. Ahead of time, we have shared a hands-on look at a set of iPhone 14 dummy models, giving a closer look at the expected design of Apple's next flagship phones.
A new pill-shaped cutout and a hole in the front camera are expected to be included in the next iteration of the phone.
According to a Geekbench 5 benchmark, Apple's new M2 chip is up to 20% faster than the M1 chip.
It's likely that the performance of the M2 chip in the new MacBook Air will be similar to that of the M1 chip in the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
The new 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip appears to be faster than a base model Mac Pro in benchmark tests, even though it costs less.
This isn't an apples-to-apples comparison, but theBenchmarks are a testament to the impressive performance of Apple Silicon chips in more affordable Macs
