Apple originally said ‌iOS 16‌ and ‌iPadOS 16‌ would be officially be released in "the fall" of 2022, without specifying a precise date.

In early August, Bloomberg reported that Apple was planning to delay the launch of ‌iPadOS 16‌ until October, which means the ‌iPad‌ software will not launch alongside the new iOS as it typically does. Apple has since confirmed that iPadOS 16 will indeed be launched sometime in October, some weeks after ‌iOS 16‌.
