Well, I took the dive and put iPad OS on my iPad Pro, and everything is working fine except one app that I'm beta testing....really hope it gets updated soon to support iPad OS because, uhhh...the full release is right around the corner, lol.

2x boost on app launches is in this new beta

You have to reinstall the app for it to work though.

Offloading works too.

Wonder what the plan for the GM is. People aren't going to be expected to mass uninstall and reinstall their apps. Maybe make it so that the first app update after the GM isn't a delta update but a silent redownloading of the whole thing?

Pretty sure that's what's going to happen. Your average joe surely doesn't update apps manually, so they won't even notice the increased download time.

VNC app still doesn't work. Does anywhere host release notes? The apple link always just seems to link to the general marketing page for iPadOS (I see they have the autocorrect library updated for that..)

I'm not gonna redownload apps. That will cost me all the time I'll save from faster app openings...

Offload them and redownload them.
Took me 5 minutes and I didn't needed to input passwords or anything.
Beauty of offload

You sure offload works the same as a full delete/reinstall? I don't mind offloading if that really works but how can you tell?

Someone mentioned it
And I believe since it's deleting the app itself but keeping the data so it should work the same.

Speed improvements could be anecdotal but for the time it took to offload some and download them back I feel like they're faster opening

I'll give it a shot for my most used apps... won't hurt

Mail keeps not showing me all the new emails. I'll see A notification, clear the inbox out, press left and there are still a bunch of unread in 'all mailboxes' which I was in originally

Um how do you search the text of a web page in Safari now? You used to just type the word you wanted to find in the address bar and then the last option was to search the page

Command + F
Share Sheet → Find on page
Command + L and type / Adress bar and type

All of the above work for me in the latest beta on ipad

Do all apps benefit this or just those latest updated ones?
Excited to hear more impressions!

Not that I'm complaining, but the faster app launches seem like such a band-aid to a larger memory management problem on iOS. Apple's been advertising faster app launch times like every other release in recent years. Yet here I am after iOS 12's startup time improvements, and it seems like all my apps take way too long to launch. Is this update just going to give me another year until Startup teams start to become unbearable again?

iPadOS 13: Took the microSD card out of my Nintendo Switch, quickly saved a Smash Bros video replay to my Photos library, edit it down to the right length, save it straight from Photos to an external hard drive that I have set up purely for video storage which was easily accessible in the Files picker from the share sheet. Also I could name the file in the save dialogue without having to save it first and then go back to rename it (can't believe that was a thing since iOS 11....)

Nice.

That Safari hide toolbar toggle is great. It stays hidden until you tap the top again, thanks. 👌

So how is the beta for everyone? So far since joining public beta 5 it's been very stable with a few bugs here and there. Hope it keeps on until release. So far I love iPadOS on my first gen iPad Pro 12'9

This new beta broke Chunky Comic Reader again :/
