TIL on Upgrade that older iPads are going to get Stage Manager after all, which I am glad to see:

Apple made the surprise announcement this week that Stage Manager is expanding to older iPad Pro models with A12X and A12Z chips released in 2018 and 2020. The multitasking feature is available to test on those models in the latest iPadOS 16.1 beta.

Stage Manager will not have external display support on older iPad Pro models, limiting its versatility. Apple has also delayed external display support for the feature on iPad models with the M1 chip — it will be reimplemented in a software update later this year.

So no external display support for my still-very-capable 2018 13″ iPad Pro, but I’ll take it. Installing Beta 9 now, in fact.

Stage Manager Expands to Older iPad Pro Models, No October Apple Event?
