        This really pisses me off. I don’t even get Stage Manager on my $1,000 dollar iPad pro but I have to wait an extra month to update my devices. I like to update all devices together properly. Stupid job by apple. They have an entire year to make certain updates on September. Every year. Putiful.

              The reaction to Stage Manager has been very poor, particularly the ugly UI, no wonder Apple is delaying it to get it right. They should have put in the iOS lock screen customisation instead. They always neglect iPadOS these days because iPad sales aren’t as high anymore.

                Remember iPadOS 13? It released some time after iOS 13.

                  Having paid 749 for an iPad pro last spring not to get the full benefits of iPad os16 seems pretty lousy.

                    Maybe a Linux tablet would be nice
