When was external display support removed? It's the only reason I bothered upgrading.
Got a tip for us?

They really should but since they won't, I recommend this app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calculator-for-ipad-free-calc-app/id1082193416
we finally got a weather app so the calculator app will arrive in iPadOS 20
I don't think they did, did they? Let me check. Only M1 iPad Pro supports using an external display as a second monitor.
Nope, they removed it. I've got an M1 iPad Pro and all we get is mirroring the same as before.
I've updated to 16.1. There was a huge Android-like clock on the home screen. Now it's gone. I want it back.
Edit: The clock is on the Lock Screen.
I don’t remember it there before.
Wish it was on the main screen too.

Is there any way to change my Lock Screen time font back? I hate this ugly thick childish font it has now!
I’ve searched everywhere and it doesn’t seem to have any customization like the phone iOS lock scree?

Exactly my thought. After test driving it for a while it makes perfect sense for Apple to “restrict“ this feature to larger iPads, preferably in landscape mode. It does reduce the screen estate quite a bit. I added the on/off switch to the control center.
For some reason Safari in Stage Manager doesn’t show the last page loaded when off stage … is this a bug?

Looks like iPadOS 16 is available along with iOS 16.1 in chicago now. After lunch will start the upgrades.
Have you tried turning off your iPad completely and then turning it back on? This helps with updates sometimes.
I was hard on 16, very vocally, but after an hour or so on 16.1 all the bugs that were annoying me are fixed.
I have an iPad Pro 12.9" with M1 and I upgraded to iPadOS 16.1. I connected my external Dell U3818DW ultra wide monitor, and have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse paired, and the only thing that happens is my iPad display is duplicated to the monitor.
I tested this feature back in July when I tried the public beta, and extend mode worked great with the same iPad and same external monitor. There are no options at all in "Displays & Brightness" under Displays, other than just the usual options you'd see in older versions of iPadOS.
Anyone else having this issue?

If this keeps up by next WWDC he’ll be doing Summer assaults.
Buy your own damn calculator app and quit whining. I swear, the number of tears shed over this is just silly. There are thousands of calculator apps out there, some of which are very good. If you can't decide, I recommend PCalc - a well-respected and extremely capable calculator with a pedigree going back to 1992.
The iOS calculator app is nothing to write home about. And if Apple just blew it up to iPad size, you wouldn't like it - the keys would be two inches across, on an iPad Pro. So, they'd have to entirely redesign it, to do something with all that extra screen real estate. Which would then bring up the inevitable question, now how do you support all that new functionality on the iPhone? Or do the iPhone users become the new slighted class, the way iPad users have felt for all these years, with a now substandard calculator? This is likely why Apple has never made any big (externally visible) push to bring a calculator to the iPad (other than Numbers). So... get your own calculator and get on with your life.
The fact that they removed it is the only reason an upgrade is available. They are having enough trouble getting it working on the built-in display.
