If you want to know when you can get the stable version of iPadOS 16, you are at the right place. Without waiting any further, let’s get started.
When Will iPadOS 16 be Released?
- iPadOS 16 was announced on June 6 during Apple’s WWDC 2022 keynote. Currently, iPadOS 16 public beta is available. iPadOS 16 stable version could be released by the end of October 2022 alongside the upcoming iOS 16.1
Update: Apple may skip iPadOS 16, and they will directly release stable iPadOS 16.1 to the public. As per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iPadOS 16.1 stable version will release on October 24.
iPadOS 16.1 is on track to be released the week of Oct. 24th — barring any new bugs or issues. Apple has historically held launches the week of its earnings calls in October.

Apple officially said iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 would be formally released by the end of 2022 without specifying a particular date.
iPadOS 15.7 is the latest update from Apple to tie Apple users over until iPadOS 16 is released. Despite releasing iOS 16 on September 12 for iPhones, Apple has had to delay the launch of iPadOS 16 due to bugs with the new stage manager multitasking feature available on “Mx” chip-powered iPads. The delay is expected for two or three more weeks following the iOS 16 release date, which is expected in October.
There is no sufficient information regarding an actual iPadOS 16 release date. Still, we can expect it sometime this month, probably on the same day the 10th Generation iPad 2022 and the 4th Generation iPad Pro 2022 are launched to the public. Apple also confirmed that the version of iPadOS 16 that people will get their hands on first would be iPadOS 16.1 by the time it launches.

If you are waiting for the official or stable release of the iPadOS 16, you probably have to wait till the end of the month, and you might be provided with iPadOS 16.1 instead of iPadOS 16.0, as discussed earlier. So you can wait for some time and hope for the update to arrive soon. Because of the bug due to the stage manager, a delay with the update is happening.
