iPadOS 16 is the fourth major release of the iPadOS operating system developed by Apple for its iPad line of tablet computers. The successor to iPadOS 15, it was announced at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 6, 2022, along with iOS 16, macOS Ventura, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16.[1][2] It received numerous new features, improving multitasking and many other aspects of the operating system, most notably on iPads with Apple's M1 SoC and later.

The public beta of iPadOS 16 was released on July 11, 2022. The public version of iPadOS 16 was released on October 24, 2022[3] as iPadOS 16.1.[4]

iPadOS 16 is the final version of iPadOS that supports the first-generation iPad Pro and iPads without Apple Pencil compatibility, especially the fifth-generation iPad, as its successor, iPadOS 17, drops support for those models.

Features

Шаблон:See also

Freeform

Шаблон:Main Freeform is a whiteboard app that lets users collaborate together in real time. It was released with iPadOS 16.2.

Weather

For the first time, Apple's Weather app is available on iPad. It was originally only available on iPhone and iPod Touch.

Lock screen

The Lock Screen has a new font and displays the date above the time to match iOS 16, but lacks the new customization features, which were later added in iPadOS 17.

Passkeys

iPads will now be able to sign into websites that implement WebAuthn using just the user’s passcode or biometrics.

Stage Manager

On iPads with Apple A12X Bionic, Apple A12Z Bionic, Apple M1 and Apple M2 processors, Stage Manager displays up to four apps at a time in adjustable windows. In addition, on iPads with Apple M1 and later, external displays are now driven using Stage Manager instead of screen mirroring, enabling display scaling on external displays.

Display scaling mode

On iPads with Apple M1 processors and later, and iPad Pro 11-inch with Apple A12X Bionic and A12Z Bionic processors,[5] Display scaling mode allows more view space in apps by increasing the pixel density of the display.

Reference Mode

On the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) and (6th generation) with Liquid Retina XDR display, the iPad can be used in "Reference Mode" for color-graded work. This extends to Sidecar, as long as the Mac being connected to has Apple Silicon.

Spoken Content

As with iOS 16, some already supported languages have received additional voices (including "Novelty" voices for English), and voices and support have been added for the following languages:

Notes

More text indentation features are added, as well as the ability to create column tables.

Files

Allows the changing of file extensions and showing all file extensions.

Photos

  • Touch ID, Face ID or passcode is now required to view the Hidden and Recently Deleted albums, unless the user turns this off in Settings.
  • Photos can now detect duplicate photos or videos. The user can choose to delete the duplicates or to merge them, so that the device retains the higher quality photo with relevant data from the duplicate(s).

App toolbar

Allows the customisation of toolbars to add tools, as well as editing the position of tools.

Criticism

Шаблон:Pov section iPadOS 16's Stage Manager feature has been criticized by various sources for only being supported by certain iPad models with an M1 chip or M2 chip owing to strict performance requirements. In an interview with TechCrunch, Craig Federighi explained: “It’s only the M1 iPads that combined the high DRAM capacity with very high capacity, high-performance NAND that allows our virtual memory swap to be super fast”.[6] It was later discovered that the feature is disabled for older devices by an internal setting.[7] Due to criticism, a single-screen version of Stage Manager was added on 2018 and 2020 iPad Pros in iPadOS 16.1 beta.[8] Apple later provided a statement to Engadget, stating that “…customers with iPad Pro 3rd and 4th generation have expressed strong interest in being able to experience Stage Manager on their iPads. In response, our teams have worked hard to find a way to deliver a single-screen version for these systems, with support for up to four live apps on the iPad screen at once”.[9]

External display support for Stage Manager on M1 iPads was delayed until further notice by Apple due to instability, and was brought back in the iPadOS 16.2 update.[10][11][12]

Stage Manager was also criticized for being "hard to use" and some reviewers and critics called the feature "fundamentally misguided".[13]

The lack of iOS 16's lock screen customization features was also criticized by reviewers such as David Pierce from The Verge.[14] iPadOS had a hidden lock screen customization app named PosterBoard which included the iOS 16’s lock screen customization features in iPadOS 16 Beta 1.[15]

Supported devices

iPadOS 16 is supported on iPads with A9 or A9X chips or newer, dropping support for the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 4, both with A8 or A8X chips. This also marks the second time Apple has dropped support for older 64-bit iPads. The supported devices are as follows.

Due to iPadOS 16 dropping support for the iPad Air 2, the iPad (5th generation) is the only supported device without Apple Pencil support. Alongside dropping support for the iPad Mini 4, the iPad Mini (5th generation) is the only supported device with the exclusive 7.9-inch display.
