Stage Manager is one of the main features of iPadOS 16. With this feature, Apple has improved iPad multitasking, making it more than ever a hybrid between a tablet and a computer. However, Stage Manager had its own criticisms, one of the main ones being exclusive support for M1 processors. Today, however, Apple decided to transfer its offer to older models.

While Stage Manager was originally only compatible with iPads that integrate the M1 chip, Cupertino has recently changed their strategy. In iPadOS 16.1 beta 3 for developers Stage Manager appeared on iPad models with processors up to M1. NamelyheA12X and A12Z. So the feature was extended to more devices but lost an important feature.

The first report on this was published in gadget. Here they say that while Stage Manager is now available on more iPad models, Apple has removed an important feature from it. This is the ability to extend the Stage Manager desktop to an external display., a feature that has been removed from all iPads, including the M1. In the latter, yes, it seems that this is a temporary displacement.

Changes in the latest iPadOS 16 beta

iPad screen extension function to external monitor it will return to iPad M1 in future updates so it hasn’t been permanently deleted. Why did Apple decide to remove this feature? This turned out to be causing some issues with the stage manager, so Cupertino preferred to take a little more time to finish polishing it.

As for the capabilities of the iPad with A12X and A12Z processors, there is no need to worry here either. These devices are still powerful enough to run Stage Manager without too much trouble.. Of course, the function of extending the desktop to an external screen will be exclusive to the M1.

How Apple comments gadget: “Introducing Stage Manager as a whole new way to multitask with resizable overlapping windows on both the iPad screen and a separate external display, with the ability to run up to eight apps on the screen at the same time.” Same way, confirm that multi-screen support is only possible with M1 power:

“In response to this, our teams have been hard at work to find a way to offer a single-screen version for these systems, with support for up to four apps on the screen at the same time.”
