The large app icons on iPad with small widgets looks comically terrible. They need to just have a toggle to go back to the current side bar/more icons if that’s what someone wants.

The "iPhone Power Off" message was included before beta 5. I'm still on beta 4 and it showed up for me last night when I shut it off trying to troubleshoot something.

Edit: I see the difference now. That link is there when the power screen comes up. On beta 4, it doesn't show up until you actually swipe to power off.
 
Been a dream for find my to work with airplane mode / toggled cellular / powered off phone.

Was looking forward to the security of “find my” even when the phone was turned off… too bad someone can just select to disable when turning off the phone… maybe one day.
I could see Apple implementing a device management payload to disable the ability to pause Find My. Definitely file feedback and get them to remove this workaround. Defeats the entire purpose it’s intended to serve.
 
Larger icons for the home screens... it's about time. I'd love to see the option to have MORE icons on the home screens, including on iOS. I sense more can fit.
Yes; I would like the option of a 35 (7X5) vs the current 24 count of icons. The bigger icons is a step in the right direction, but it is still wasted space.
 
Yeah, I was also pretty disappointed that this is now an option. The whole point of Find My (from a security aspect) is to recover your device... now the lowlife can just disable it.
Are we sure it doesn't require you to know your iCloud password like if we turn Find My off in the phone? I would have thought that disabling it (even temporarily) would require you to input some sort of verification that you are the owner of the phone.
 
Safari in iOS is still an upside down POS, I see. I keep holding onto hope that it'll go back to the putting the address bar on top, given that Apple already backpedaled on the changes made in Monterey and iPadOS, but they sure seem hell bent for election on this one.
 
One of the justifications for the changes to Safari was to reduce the amount of space used by the UI. The new UI on iPadOS takes up more vertical space than on iPadOS 14 (if you use the now default option of having tabs on a separate line from the URL bar.)

I accidentally swiped up from the bottom right of the screen and a quick note app appeared. I’ve not seen this mentioned anywhere before. Though, you lot will have.

Installed iPadOS on my 12.9 yesterday after already having the beta on my iMac and iPhone 6s. All run great without too many hiccups, but I was really disappointed to see that on iPadOS we went back to just 4 rows of icons. The now added larger icons toggle in beta 5 is just to mask the empty space. Give also a toggle to go to 5 or even 6 rows of icons. I am not a widget user, so definitely don’t need them on the Home Screen. If I need them, I do one swipe, not too much trouble. Hope this will be added before the golden master.
 
I keep looking but I’m yet to see anything that dissuades me from the opinion that this years Safari design is an absolute calamity. Beside the fact that it just horrible to use with the ‘wackamole’ url bar, it breaks SO many sites with fixed footers and suffers horribly as it mangles the view port size as the URL bar comes in and out. It’s an absolute horror show!!!
