The new Stage Manager, which boosts the multitasking capabilities of the iPad, would be at the center of the problem. The option, which is also present on macOS Ventura, is not yet developed, hence the idea of launching the two OSes at the same time, in October.
But other options common to iOS and iPadOS / macOS could suffer from this delay. Like the new iMessages, which allow you to edit an SMS or cancel its sending. If the option works on iOS from September, how will it be supported on iPad for a month?
For developer James Thompson, this could create concerns for developers, who intend to rely on these new features. “This will likely mean not shipping anything until iPadOS arrives, or shipping something sooner that potentially won’t work on iPadOS.”
In short, the summer must be complicated on the side of Apple. The final decision should be known at the start of the school year, during a Keynote.
