iPad Does the new iPad has stage manager?

[Astuces iOS]

The new A16 iPad is the first with an A16 chip and I wonder if it supports Stage Manager ? The iPad mini doesn't but it could... Just a limitation by Apple since it's small I guess.

With nuggets we tried stage manager on older iPads and it could work fine... I am sure this iPad is 100% capable to run this but the question is : Will it have it??

We can also ask the same question for Final Cut Pro for iPad... Since Final Cut Pro is available on the mini A17 Pro... it could on this iPad.

What do you guys think?

Could not be updated yet but it’s not on the supported models.

Move, resize, and organize windows with Stage Manager on iPad

On supported iPad models, you can view, move, resize and overlap windows to work in multiple apps simultaneously.

No, it does not and it will not, even if it could. And those old jaibreaks are no longer possible on iPadOS 18

 

[It’s always something]

My guess is that it will not have Stage Manager. I think Stage Manager is probably considered to be an upscale feature, whether or not the A16 could do it. I realize this is not a perfect comparison but the iPad mini 7 doesn’t have Stage Manager, so I doubt the iPad 11 will. 🤷‍♂️

Full stage manager generally requires 8GB of RAM. Apple made an exception for the 2020 iPad Pros given the developer/media/owner grumbling but that was on-device only with more limits - they didn't support an external display.

But the iPad mini 7 doesn’t has it… so kinda weird situation.

Apple doesn't want to mini to have stage manager since it's too small and has no official keyboard. Funny enough, by jailbreaking on iPadOS 16 you can enable stage manager on the mini 5 and 6 (patched on 17 and 18)

Well do you know everyone used nuggets in iOS 18/.1/.2 beta 1… I could enable stage manager on iPad mini 6 (a friend did also) it was perfectly five… apple fixed this with a later version of iOS 18.2 !

I would suggest buy one and test. If it doesn't support, return it. I used to use nuggets to enable stage manager on my iPad Air 4 (A14, 4GB), and the external display worked too. The remote apple representative says it will support (but their words may not be correct)

I already asked this for the iPad mini a17… they told me it supports stage manager but in reality nope.

I'm pretty sure that if Apple decided to disable Stage Manager from iPad A16, it would be a different reason ("iPad mini is too small and Stage Manager makes every window hard to read blah blah" vs. "Nah, you don't get Stage Manager if you don't pay over $600"

Many people are saying no it doesn’t.

Hardware wise yes A17 Pro can support it but it’s small though to get it

But the fact iPad A16 doesn’t get it despite its SoC being 4 generations newer than A12X and 6GB verses 4GB ( not counting the 1TB Version which has 6GB But needed it because 1TB can’t support 4GB) is somewhat embarrassing. Even if it had 6 Cores Apple wouldn’t enable it.

But it does support Final Cut Pro though so that’s something

They said to me (apple) that it doesn’t support stage manager… this is hardware block since it works well on devices like iPad mini 6 with jailbreak/nuggest… meaning it won’t have difficulty to run stage manager but apple want to keep this exclusive to other devices.
