I bought the 1TB 11 inch so I could have big active video projects on the iPad and now the USB-C drives will allow me to have the ability to move big projects on and off of the iPad when I am mobile and not near my NAS which is often...
Oh okay, about fonts, can you install fonts from an external drive? I’m not sure if this is ipados specific or if I should ask on the ios 13 forum...
If you can, that is KILLER
Edit: wait only ipad can read external drives right? Pls try it

It can read and write. But not iPhones. Don’t know how to install fonts though.
Maybe if you have like .ttf or .otf lying around in the drive.... so far I only know you can install fonts through the app store but I’d like to install 3rd party fonts from my macbook... but if you don’t have it already, it’s alright though. Thanks for the pics so far!!
There is a big warning on the preview. Says this is a only to test functionality. Expect to have to restore from your backup.
For good reason. It’s loaded with bugs. Usually even the second developer beta is significantly improved over the first one.
It is simple. You don't have to use it. Why worry so hard about something that is helping some and not affecting you in the slightest?
You've actually been able to install fonts for awhile using configuration profiles. I use it to install some web fonts I regularly use. It is not a user-friendly method though. It will be really nice to be able to install fonts in an easier manner come this Fall.
Compared to last year’s keynote which felt “phoned in”, yes. Apple is finally getting serious when it comes to the iPad by giving it a customized version of iOS that takes more advantage of the bigger display.
Finally it seems apple listened to a focus group that is not only made up of 16 year old kids.
This are features that many of us wanted that are using the iPad for rather boring applications (reviewing texts, pdf's, pictures, spreadsheets that can't be emailed for security reasons) or that have files of all different types organized in project folders and need to check them out while on a plane.
The iPad was great for media consumption and for production in creative ways. But it never was good for boring, mundane necessary tasks.

It certainly helps me personally with camera offloading and native smb that can be backgrounded. It offers. A better file system structure for photo editing apps. Potentially.

and is another massive revenue stream for them now.
Another thing- it supports the full 3d touch menus from the iPhone 6S and later. Just hold on an app icon. Kind of like the XR's haptic touch.
Yeah. I’ve had the app AnyFont installed on my iDevices for a few years, let’s you install fonts system wide already via configuration files that it modifies itself. Used it to add the Star Wars fonts to some of my home video projects in Luma Fusion.
This should make it a lot easier to manage![doublepost=1559670435][/doublepost]
Ahh...but you can do a right click to bring up a menu.
You can actually custom configure the right click to do a whole bunch of different things!
Well, my response to that is that the name of iOS was iPhone OS for 3 years with both the iPhone and touch running it. They use the same version of the springboard and apps.
Now with some form of mouse support seemingly.....my next ipad can be the biggest brother once it gets a oled or microled screen(major requirement after having the tab S4 and galaxy book 12)......they soon will officially be able to actually call it laptop replacement.....otherwise the 11 inch model keeps me smooth sailing.
