Why Apple developers reportedly want the company to delay the roll out of iPadOS 16 – Times of India
Apple announced the new version of its iOS and iPadOS operating systems at its annual developer conference WWDC 2022 in June. The company is widely expected to start rolling out iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 in September this year with the iPhone 14 launch. However, now an online report suggests that Apple will not release the iPadOS 16 with iOS 16.
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple may postpone the release of iPadOS 16. The report claims that the company is planning to roll out iPadOS 16 in October.
Why the delay in iPadOS 16 rollout
The report suggests that the Stage Manager feature of iPadOS is the main reason behind this delay. As reported by Bloomberg, the Stage Manager multitasking system is taking longer than expected time to develop completely. During the beta testing phase, the developers criticised the Stage Manager feature for being buggy. The feature is also said to be not compatible with many of the available iPad versions that iPadOS 16 will support.
“During beta testing, the system has drawn criticism from some developers and users for its bugs, a confusing interface and lack of compatibility with most iPads. Staggering the release schedule will also allow Apple to put more engineering resources into completing iOS 16, the software update that will come included with the iPhone 14 in September,” says the report.
The report further adds that the company might roll out the iPadOS 16 with the launch of new iPads in October. Apple is expected to launch new iPads at an event in October. The alleged iPad Pro is rumoured to be powered by the company’s M2 chipset. Along with this, Apple is also tipped to launch a new entry-level iPad with USB Type C charging port.

Important updates regarding the Bob-Birnie Arena
|
The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.

Surprise Apple Event Hints at First New iPads in Years – CNET
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
