Apple earlierconfirmIn the future, the iPadOS operating system will release updated versions according to an independent schedule and will no longer be coordinated with the iOS operating system update schedule used by the corresponding iPhone models.
The reason for this statement is that Apple recently released the iOS 16 beta 7 test version update to developers. The iPadOS operating system update provided for iPad models was originally displayed as iPadOS 16.0 version update in the push message, but many developers said that after the update, the version number displayed was 16.1.
In Apple's response, it stated that future iPadOS operating system updates will no longer be synchronized with iOS, which means that the first official version of the iPadOS operating system used by the next iPad model will be 16.1, directly skipping version 16.0, and future updates may not necessarily maintain the same version number as the iOS operating system.
iPadOS was split into an independent operating system in 2019. It is based on iOS and is optimized for the larger screen usage mode of iPad models. This avoids the user experience on iPad models simply adding support for Apple Pencil and a larger display area. Apple hopes to position iPad models as lighter mobile computing devices that can meet more mobile office, creative and audio-visual needs through handwriting and a larger display area, so that it can meet the usage mode between mobile phones and PCs.
This year, the new iPadOS 16 added a multitasking interface called Stage Manager, allowing users to handle multiple tasks at the same time in a more intuitive way. However, it was later found that the actual useThere will be problemsAs a result, iPadOS 16, originally scheduled for release this fall, has been delayed, with the official release expected to begin in October of this year. Therefore, Apple's statement that future iPadOS updates will not be synchronized with iOS seems to confirm that the iPadOS operating system will be released later.
