Phoenix Network Technology News Beijing time on August 24 th news, Apple confirmed on Tuesday that the new generation of iPadOS 16 operating system will be released "according to its own schedule".It will be pushed to the public after the iOS 16 system logs in to the mobile phone. Moreover, the new generation iPadOS system will skip version 16.0 directly.The first push to the majority of users will be version 16.1.
Apple said in a statement: "This year is a particularly important year for iPadOS. As a self-owned platform specially designed for iPad, we can flexibly launch iPadOS according to our own schedule. This fall, iPadOS will be released as a free software update in version 16.1 after iOS. "
In other words,When Apple releases iPadOS 16 in autumn, it will skip version 16.0 and release 16.1 directly.. This means that after iOS 16 logs in to the mobile phone, the first version of iPadOS 16 that users will welcome will be 16.1. Then, the 16.1 versions of iOS and iPadOS may be released at the same time or about the same time.
For Apple, this system release adjustment will be a major change. Although Apple is used to postponing individual functions of its mobile operating system, it is completely different to directly postpone the operating system itself and skip the initial version. However, although Apple usually releases iPadOS and iOS systems at the same time, the possibility of decoupling has always existed since Apple split the iPad operating system into a separate entity in 2019.
Apple hasn’t responded why iPadOS was delayed and skipped the original version. However, many people who participated in the iPadOS 16 Beta test have noticed that,Its flagship function "front desk scheduling" is very immature.Federico Viticc, a well-known iPad user, recently asked Apple to postpone this feature on Twitter, saying that it would crash "every few minutes" and "UI failures are everywhere". He believes that some parts of the functional design are "fundamentally misled".
Apple’s statement also confirmed previous media reports. Foreign media revealed earlier this month,Apple is expected to take an unusual step this year, delaying the next major system update of the iPad for about one month.One of the reasons why it was not released at the same time with the new iPhone system was that "Front Desk Scheduling" was criticized by some developers and users during the Beta test because of loopholes, confusing interface and incompatibility with most iPad models.
