I experience all of these on my M4 13 iPad Pro. FBA now reports the “more than 10” notation for the redrawing or repopulating of Home Screen icons as you swipe back and forth across those screens. On the blank menu bar items on the Safari Home Page, the notation is “less than 10”, but at least it’s not just me. The one thing that surprises me is that there are no reports shown for the loss of the cmd key not bringing up the cmd key combo options when depressed. That has been reported on the AppleSeed discussion forum, and anyone using a Magic Keyboard with an iPad, or any external keyboard, should be experiencing this. Also, more than 10 is shown for the degradation of the maximum battery capacity for my M4 iPad Pro. Again, I’m glad it’s not just me.

Can you elaborate on the command key issue? I have my iPad Pro 12.9” M1 on the latest developer beta but haven’t noticed any issues with the command key. I’m happy to test if you can tell me exactly what you’re experiencing.
The only outstanding issue that’s bugging me on the iPad is stuttering when swiping up to exit an app - it almost always has a stutter when using the trackpad on the Magic Keyboard but is perfectly smooth when using touch to do the same.

If you use the Magic Keyboard case or the Smart keyboard folio with your ipad, holding down the cmd key will bring up a list of key combos that are available in the app you’re in. That does not function in 26. The key combos still work, such as cmd + H takes you back to the Home Screen, cmd + W closes a Safari tab or window. Those all work if you remember what they are. But holding down the cmd key while in an app should bring up the available key combo options for that app. That’s what does not work. Hold the cmd key down and nothing happens. That still functions properly in all versions of 18, but so far does not in any version of 26. Also, holding down the globe key will also bring up some available key combos, such as globe + up arrow button brings up the recent apps screen. Those combos work, but the you can’t bring up the menu of available functions by holding the globe key down. All this works properly in 18.
Still no cmd key options displayed when using a keyboard with beta 8. I’m now thinking that’s going to be a 26.1 or .2 fix. Which is a shame as that’s a major convenience to using a keyboard with an ipad. The functions work, but no menu of combos appears, you just have to google the list if you don’t already know them.
I actually think this is intentional and not a bug, as you can now invoke the menu bar and look at all the shortcuts in the menus themselves.
You’re probably right as we’ve discovered several functions that are no longer available unless you switch to using windowed apps. I guess that’s a gentle nudge in forcing us in that direction. My guess is that the average ipad user (like me) who just installs this when it’s released won’t be happy, at least till they figure out a work around.
I have windowed mode enabled but use most of my apps full screen. If I go up to the top of the screen with the Magic Keyboard trackpad, the menu shows, and there I can see all the shortcuts.
Yes, that’s what I meant. If you have Full Screen Apps enabled, you don’t get options like the cmd key menu. You don’t even get the ability to use Select in Mailboxes, other than the Inboxes; in the Trash or any other boxes, there is no longer a Select or Select All option (that 3-dot ellipsis). This is not going to fly well when this is released to all next month. The cmd menu loss bothers me the most, as every current article, including Apple’s instructions, specifies that function. If they don’t restore some of these functions to those who wish to use an iPad as an iPad, not a Mac, I don’t think it will go over well, especially for those who don’t use a keyboard with an ipad.
