Apple Releases First Public Betas of iOS 13 and iPadOS

[Kirkster]

I have not run into any bugs so far. O365 sends and receives through the mail app just fine.

iPad Mini 5 and can't login to Feedback! Very bad sign.

I beg to differ. Not being able to log into Facebook is actually a very good thing.

I’m very tempted to install the PB on my iPad Pro. But I can’t get the guts to do it. I may just buy a used SE and test it out on that.

Then maybe they shouldn’t have shipped this build as a public beta.

Yes, it comes with disclaimers. Yes, you have to opt in. But the entire point is in fact for millions to start installing this build over the next few days. They’re inviting people to do so via e-mail as we speak. They want to collect feedback, gather crash reports and other analytics, and yes, they do want to know how people feel about the quality.

Yes, you’re correct. I’m talking about the folks that simply "want the newest", but will only whine if they run into bugs instead of reporting, researching, asking for help (as on MR), generally trying to be "testers", etc.

how buggy it is on ipad pro 2018?

Legit question that inquiring minds want to know.

Apple says clearly that it is a beta. Doesn't matter if it is public or not, NEVER install as a "daily driver". It is meant for testing ONLY until stable public release in September. It is up to every single person to decide if they want to install it. It is not like Apple is pushing this out to the unknowing public lol

That’s fair - but knowing public, it’s safe to assume they’re going to do things in a manner that’s characteristically ‘unknowing’. Ever heard someone say ‘gee, I had no idea ....’?

 

[sokzzuka]

ah what the hell, downloading it xD

I’m running iOS 13 DB 2 on a spare iPhone 7 mainly for CarPlay. What do you want to know? It runs fine.

What does it do for CarPlay? And do I need to do anything other than hook up the iPhone?

Download manager in Safari is great but no iOS browsers allow extensions so unable to download anything from YouTube.

 

[borntrouble]

So weird they released this as a public beta, there are way too many bugs I feel, mail, calls going to voice mail etc.

They need the additional data.

Feedback, not Facebook.

If you have a large photo library it takes a long time.

What do you consider to be a long time? 1 hour, 2 hours, overnight? My 10.5 Pro is going on close to 2 hours.

My Lacie portable drive mounted no problem, watched videos shot on my canon 5dMk4 no problem. This will be fantastic to show libraries to clients.

How to have two apps (could be same or different ones) running side by side the screen? From some videos, one drags the icon(s) from the dock but by doing so, I removed icon(s)from dock.

 

[LuvMacs]

Well, they will now get these people at the Genius bar. They decided to release a 'Public Beta'

Neither the Genius Bar nor AppleCare will help with problems in a device running a beta OS version.

 

[hajime]

Why the top 1/6 of the screen is empty? Why Apple does not move the icons a bit higher up the screen? It is kind of waste of screen estate.

 

[MacDonaldTrump]

PS4 remote play with dual shock connected on iPad Pro 12.9 is so good.

 

[Unregistered 4U]

Yes, which is why I already had it installed last week.

Doesn’t change that Apple republished them, deliberately, as a public beta. That the build number is the same doesn’t matter. Eventually, there will be a golden master that will have the same build number as what used to be a beta. Doesn’t make that golden master a beta.

What point are you even trying to make? You know enough to download a developer beta release but you also think it’s somehow “more refined” than the same code that was made available last week? Do a diff and let us all know exactly how much more refined it is.

 

[theapplehead]

Can this beta be installed via finder on a Mac running Catalina?

I made no such statement. It’s obviously an identical build.

As for making a point, you claimed it was a “developer beta”. It was last week. Now, it’s also a public beta.

Had no trouble installing on aTV4, iPad Air 3, or SE. Only used iPadOS so far all I’ve noticed is a glitchy folder background and the fact that on Dark mode private and regular browsing modes look virtually identical on Safari.

 

[Shpyda]

Loving this update already. haven't experienced many bugs at all and the new features seem to work great. I think they should make this the gold master and ship it!!

One of my favorite new features is the ability to scan documents directly into the "files" app as a PDF. I liked that they had it available in notes, but I don't typically want scanned documents in the notes app. This is an awesome addition.

Wanted to inform Apple that Numbers would not open my last most recent spreadsheet.

Two strikes. This isn't going on my iPhone X for now.

I had that problem running DB1. Try deleting the app and reinstalling. With DB 2 it is working for me.

 

[Techwatcher]

I can honestly say, iPadOS is the most satisfying OS update I ever installed from either Windows, macOS, or iOS. Apple really annihilated all expectations with this one. No complaints over here, this is amazing.

 

[xxray]

I’m really impressed. So far, it’s super stable for me. The added features are very useful. The design changes are gorgeous. And the app launches and Face ID unlock actually is noticeably faster. This might be my favorite big iOS release ever.

 

[UltraPower]

This beta is surprisingly usable and I’ve literally found no major bugs except for FB messenger force closing on me.
