#iPadOS 16

Apple has just revealed usage statistics for both iOS and iPadOS just a few days before its WWDC 2023 event. iPadOS 16 saw slightly lower usage with only 71% of all current iPads using the latest software with 29% of today's iPads still using iPadOS 15 or earlier. Nonetheless, Apple has also revealed that 90% of all iPhones and 76% of all iPads released in the past 4 years have been running on the latest software update of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 respectively. According to a report by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is expected to delay its latest iPadOS 16 software by about a month after the release of iOS 16. It was stated that iOS and iPadOS had generally been released at the same time in September. But according to Gurman, it now plans to continue with the release of iOS 16 in September but delay the launch of iPadOS 16 until October. Furthermore, it was noted that during iPadOS 16's beta testing, it had actually drawn some criticism from developers for being buggy, having a confusing interface, and lack of compatibility with most iPads, according to Gurman. The release of iPadOS 16 in October will also bring the software update closer to the launch of new iPads which are rumored to include a new iPad Pro with M2 chip and a new entry-level iPad with support for USB-C.
