At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, it was announced that the company's next- generation operating systems would be iPadOS 16 and iOS 16. For the past few months, Apple has been refining the new versions of its mobile operating system, and a full public release is expected soon.

The Lock Screen on the iPhone is completely overhauled in the latest version of the operating system. There are a lot of new filters.

The Weather app in iPadOS 16 is the first of its kind, and is exclusive to iPad models with the M1 chip. Stage Manager has a new way to work with multiple windows and full display support.

There are a number of new features and changes in the new versions of iPadOS 16 and iOS 16.

After the keynote at the World Wide Developers Conference on June 7, registered members of Apple's developer program were able to get their hands on iOS 16 and iPadOS 16.

According to a report in August, Apple was planning to delay the launch of iPadOS 16 until October, which means the iPad software won't launch alongside the new iOS as it usually does. It has been confirmed by Apple that iPadOS 16 will be released in October.

Device Compatibility

iPadOS 16 is compatible with the iPad Air, iPad mini, and all iPad Pro models.
