Apple releases iPadOS 16.1 developer preview, abandons iPadOS 16 version

Apple today released the iPadOS 16.1 Beta version, version number 20B5027f. This update brings improvements and bug fixes primarily to iPad.

Apple recently announced that it would cancel the release of the official version of iPadOS 16 in order to focus on solving front-end scheduling function errors and other issues in the M1 iPad model. Apple stated that they will not release iPadOS 16.0 version, but plan to launch the official version of iPadOS 16.1 after the release of iOS 16.

"This is an especially important year for iPadOS. As a proprietary platform designed specifically for iPad, we have the ability to release iPadOS on our own schedule. This fall, iPadOS will Released after iOS, providing free software update version 16.1."

According to TechCrunch, iPadOS 16.1 introduces a new foreground scheduling feature. This important update allows users to redisplay the manager sidebar via gestures in full-screen mode. In addition to this, version 16.1 also includes some standard Beta bug fixes.

Apple usually releases iOS and iPadOS updates together, but this time they’ve made some changes. The latest version of iPadOS still has some bugs, and many users have complained about the multitasking front-end scheduling feature. Therefore, Apple decided to separate this launch to address these issues.

According to reports, Apple plans to adjust the release time of iPadOS 16 from September to October. The purpose of this adjustment is to give Apple enough time to resolve some issues related to front-of-house scheduling. As early as early August, there was news that Apple might delay the release of iPadOS 16. The news attracted widespread attention and discussion. Now, with new leaks emerging, we can say with greater certainty that Apple is indeed planning to release iPadOS 16 in October this fall, rather than at the same time as iOS 16. This delayed decision should give Apple enough time to address scheduling concerns and ensure a smooth launch of the new system. We’re looking forward to seeing all the new features and improvements that come with the new iPadOS 16 in October.
