Your iPad won’t be left waiting for iPadOS 17 this year

When iOS 16 launched last year on Monday, September 12, it arrived alone. Due to development issues mostly associated with Stage Manager, Apple decided to delay iPadOS 16 to October 24, 2022. The company skipped iPadOS 16.0 entirely, jumping straight to version 16.1 which it released alongside iOS 16.1 and macOS Ventura 13.
