iPadOS version history

iPadOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. for its iPad line of tablet computers. It was given a name distinct from iOS, the operating system used by Apple's iPhones to reflect the diverging features of the two product lines, such as multitasking. It was introduced as iPadOS 13 in 2019, reflecting its status as the successor to iOS 12 for the iPad, at the company's 2019 Worldwide Developers Conference.[10]

iPadOS was first released to the public on September 24, 2019. Major versions of iPadOS are released annually. The current stable version, iPadOS 17, was released to the public on September 18, 2023.
