Ok that’s the main thing I was looking forward to to trying out. Checked on some YouTube videos where they show it’s working. That’s why I thought it was already available. Thanks for confirming.
Got a tip for us?

You were not kidding about max-level iPad drag/drop skills. Very impressive, I had no idea so much could be done with drag and drop.
AFAIK only M-series iPads will offer extended display support though.
Checked on Apple support page for stage manager. It doesn’t say anything about that. Just says compatible for iPad Pro 11” 1st Generation onwards. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Turn Stage Manager on or off on your iPad - Apple Support
Use Stage Manager to resize windows to look the way you want, see multiple overlapping windows in a single view, tap to switch between apps, and more.

This is from Apple
"
Delivering this multi-display support is only possible with the full power of M1-based iPads. Customers with iPad Pro 3rd and 4th generation have expressed strong interest in being able to experience Stage Manager on their iPads. In response, our teams have worked hard to find a way to deliver a single-screen version for these systems, with support for up to four live apps on the iPad screen at once.
External display support for Stage Manager on M1 iPads will be available in a software update later this year."

Exactly ,on macs its kind of pointless since we already have great UI, but on the ipad, i would use it only with external monitor
Stage Manager doesn’t need turned on to use the external monitor. The external monitor will show as though Stage Manager is turned on, but the iPad will remain with it off. Additionally, if you don’t like the bottom dock and left side icons with Stage Manager on, they can be turned off by long pressing/right clicking the Stage Manager icon in Control Center.
Now that display support has been separated from Stage Manager, it's not going to mention it in an article about SM. However, on the iPadOS page.Checked on Apple support page for stage manager.

Thanks but this also doesn’t say that it’s only available to a few of the devices in the Pro line up.
