When Can You Download iPadOS 16 & Is Your iPad Compatible?
By Kenya Smith
While the newest version of iPadOS has traditionally been released at the same time as the newest version of iOS, this year is different. For the first time since the original version of iPadOS came out in 2019, the new iPad software will be released later in the fall, closer to the macOS Ventura release rather than the release of the newest iPhone software. Many are attributing the delay to the need to fix the unusually buggy iPadOS beta software before making it available to the public. While we're disappointed with the delay, we're excited for iPadOS 16 to be released on October 24. Find out which iPads will work with iPadOS once it's available, which iPadOS features will be immediately available and why iPadOS is delayed.

Apple unveiled the Pro line of its iPhone 14 series, featuring the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, at its "Far Out" event on September 7.

As always, the iPhone camera got an upgrade, but this time it includes a massive jump from 12 megapixels to 48!
