The big Apple news this week was that the upcoming iPadOS 16 update won't be arriving with the iPhone update in September due to a need to continue refining the Stage Manager multitasking feature.
There were a lot of popular stories this week, including more hints about the always-on display of the iPhone 14 Pro, potential design leaks for the next-generation iPad, speaker issues with the Apple studio display, and more.
According to a report from Mark Gurman, Apple plans to delay the release of iPadOS 16 until October.
iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura are expected to be released in October.
Gurman said that delaying the release of iPadOS 16 will allow Apple to devote more engineering resources towards finishingiOS 16 development, and provide Apple with more time to refine iPadOS 16's new Stage Manager multitasking feature, which has received some criticism.
There are rumors that the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro models will feature an always-on display, similar to the Apple Watch, and hints of what that always-on display might look like in the latest version of Apple's developer tool Xcode.
The always-on display would allow users to see the time and date without having to wake the screen.
The entry-level iPad is expected to be updated later this year, and newly leaked renders offer a look at what to expect.
According to the renders shared by MySmartPrice, the 10th-generation iPad could have a design similar to that of the latest iPad mini. There are rumors of a larger display, 5G, and A14 chip.
