The iPadOS 16 version gets a download size of 2.68GB, and as you would expect, the new version comes with a host of features, some interesting improvements and focus on multitasking. Which brings us to the first main feature, Stage Manager. Apple has struggled with this feature for quite some time now, and after multiple attempts it seems the company is ready to give it a public release. Apple has limited its compatibility with iPads that get the M1 or the M2 chipset, which means the regular iPad, the 10th gen iPad and the iPad Air 2020 miss out.

Apple has pointed out that for Stage Manager to work effectively, it wants iPads to have a minimum of 8GB RAM, which the M1-powered variants offer. Having said that, there is still a lot of new things that await the older iPad models. iPadOS 16 brings the option to edit messages on iMessage, and offers new collaborative tools.
The Mail app gets new tools as well, and you also have the new iCloud Shared Photo Library. The other important feature is the ability to use your accounts on Safari without saving the password. The passkey uses Touch ID or Face ID to authorise an action. Weather app also comes to iPad and some Pro features catering to the high-end iPad Pros.
