Keep watching TechRadar for the latest updates. This doesn't apply to non-M1 iPad Pros because they do not support the external display feature.Īs for when iPadOS 16 steps out from backstage to become a full-blown, public OS like its platform brothers and sisters, that's anyone's guess. Plus, betas can be unstable and you wouldn't want to put iPadOS 16.1 Beta 3 on any system you rely on to get real work done.Īpple's comment about external display support implies that there may be a delay until later this year for the ability to connect another display to your M1 iPad and run the Stage Manager through it as a full-screen, full-resolution experience.

Instead of eight apps, Stage Manager on these tablets will be limited to four apps (just one more than you can run on an iPad without Stage Manager). Now, it should work on 2020 iPad Pros, which are running an M1 chip, and more interestingly, 2018 iPad Pros running an A12Z Bionic CPU.Īs noted, there will be limitations.
