The next significant iPad OS upgrade, iPadOS 16, has apparently been postponed by Apple by nearly a month. Although the Cupertino corporation can understand this delay, consumers who own both an iPhone and an iPad may find it problematic. Customers using iPads running iPadOS 15 and iPhones running iOS 16 can expect several functionalities that should operate uniformly between iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 to perform inconsistently. Developers who are creating apps for both smartphones may potentially experience issues.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who previously revealed that Apple was considering delaying the release of iPadOS 16 by one month, the decision may be wise for some users but not for others. the Cupertino-based company, customers who are using both an iPhone and an iPad may have to deal with problems with the seamless working of apps.
For instance, the seamless operation of new iMessage features like message retraction and editing between iOS 16 and iPadOS 15 devices is not guaranteed. The ability to sync FaceTime conversations between devices and other new capabilities like the iCloud Shared Photo Library and more sophisticated collaboration tools probably won't function for those users either, according to Gurman.

Concerning the difficulties for developers, Gurman cites James Thompson Gurman as saying that those working on universal apps for the iPhone and iPad may have to release something early that may be defective on iPadOS. It will be a case of delaying shipping till iPadOS is released, he claims.
