iPadOS 16 With Stage Manager, Weather App, and More to Be Available on October 24

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced that iPadOS 16 will be available on October 24 for all compatible iPad models, bringing the Weather app, Stage Manager, and more to iPad users.

Unlike in past years, this year's iPadOS and iOS updates were not released simultaneously. Instead, Apple decided to delay iPadOS 16 until later in the fall to allow it more time to refine the update, including Stage Manager. Stage Manager is the biggest new addition coming to iPadOS 16 that offers users of select iPad models a new windowing system for apps.

iPadOS 16 also brings the Weather app to the iPad and the ability to edit and unsend Messages, which is also available on iOS 16 and macOS Ventura. For a full rundown of everything new with iPadOS 16, be sure to check out our roundup.

Where is this coming from? Not seeing any link to a news release, nor anything on Apple's site...

So far, with all the announcements today, this is the only one that does not link to Apple website...

I am already on 16.1 public beta.

Nothing matters until external display support.... Which they're still touting on the site, actually, they have a whole section for it on the new pro page so hopefully that's coming sooner than soon

Any news on the Calculator?

Just no excuse for no calculator. Craig just offers some nonsensical ******** reason.

I think that's cause the link was on a previous post. I just saw this one first and didn't see the others. And at that point the apple home page hadn't been updated yet so resulted to a google search for the news release on apple's site.

The new iPad pages say “later this year”, so more than likely 16.2 releasing in December.

Any news on the Calculator?

It will be an exclusive feature for M2 iPads. Apple will claim only the M2 can handle the power of the calculator app.

if you need a calculator use the iPad to access Windows on the cloud and run the calculator form Windows.
Any calculator app that you recommended?. Most that I have used are utter rubbish….

Spotlight can do math, as well as conversions. I've long removed calculator from my iPhone, Spotlight can do things like sqrt(x) as well.

Finally we have a date!

My Ipad is so old I wonder if it will even update to 16. It's becoming a bit sluggish lately. (2015 model)

Any news on the Calculator?

May see that in another 12yrs as it took them 12yrs to make a weather app 😆

Looking forward to trying out Stage Manager.

Waiting for 16.2 across all to fix the bugs on my iPhone and the inevitable ones that remain in 16.1 and Ventura.

Not true. The Windows calculator is ok, but you can use the TI Nspire CAS, which definitely exceeds what the Windows calculator is capable of performing. There is also PocketCAS that also provides more functionality.

I am not, I would rather have the external display support than Stage Manager. I will never use the Stage Manager option.

The spotlight calculation is an interesting option, but does not replace the built-in calculator.
