Bloomberg: iPadOS Release Pushed by One-Month

04 AUGUST 2022 - the story that was everywhere Wednesday is so hard to call a story. Bloomberg ran a piece saying that Apple plans to delay the launch of iPadOS 16! Apple has said iPadOS 16 will be released in the fall. Now though - sadly - it’s not going to be released… until the fall. According to Bloomberg, the company:

…expects to delay its next major iPad software update by about a month, taking the unusual step of not releasing it at the same time as the new iPhone software, according to people with knowledge of the matter. 

The delay is said to be thanks to Apple’s “ambitious effort to overhaul the iPad’s multitasking capabilities.” There seems little point in trying to decided whether this story is correct or incorrect. I’d rather go ahead and point out the obvious: Apple has given no release date for any of its operating systems so… you know… can’t call ‘em late. Well, again, they did say “this fall.” So, they’ve got a three month window that doesn’t even open for another month-and-a-half.

Go back to sleep.
