Apple had its "Far Out" event on September 7 and announced many new devices. Soon new models of iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods Pro will hit stores. We didn't hear anything about Macs, MacBooks, iPads, or AR/VR headsets, however, and we expect another event in October for these.

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 do anticipate iPadOS 16 to be released in October. Find out which iPads will work with iPadOS once it's available, which iPadOS features will be immediately available and why iPadOS is delayed.
