A new rumor coming from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman himself suggests that Apple could release iPadOS 16.1 on October 24th, 2022. The tech giant is also likely to release iOS 16.1 to iPhones on this date in order to keep iPadOS’s version numbers consistent with iOS’s.
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.

Furthermore, Gurman hinted that the new iPadOS might come alongside new hardware. As Gurman stated, in the past, Apple has released new products on the week of its earnings calls in October — which this year will be on October 27th.
According to the rumor mill, Apple will introduce a revamped M2 iPad Pro along with a redesigned standard iPad and a couple of new Macs by the end of the year. At first, we expected the tech giant to do that via an event in October, but later, Mark Gurman hinted that Apple would probably announce its new hardware via a press release.
The chances of Apple releasing new products very soon are actually high. As we reported in September, Logitech accidentally leaked the two yet-unannounced iPad Pro versions on its Crayon Digital Pencil page. We guess we’ll soon find out if the rumor mill is correct and Apple is indeed cooking something for us on October 24th.
