iPad Install iPadOS13 NOW - yes, no, maybe

[OldCorpse]

I'm torn about installing iPadOS13 on my new Air 3. I have iOS13 on my iPhone, and I guess it's OK so far (only a day). But I don't want to mess up my pretty decent experience on iOS12 on the iPad. Are there tons of bugs? Should we wait? What do you think?

I've had iPadOS since the 4th/5th beta, and it's been fine.

Shared Internet windows from Safari don’t seem to work any longer. That’s with 13.1.1. It seems noticeably faster than 12.4 though I’d install it for performance alone. Maybe they just changed some screen typing latency buffer thing, but it’s feeling far more responsive in Safari. I like it.

Installed it over a month ago. each release just got better and better.

iPadOS is great compared to iOS 13. It’s very stable and battery life has been good for me.

Download it immediately.

I’ve run into 5Ghz wifi issues, where the iPad won’t auto-connect to the 2.4Ghz band if the 5Ghz is too weak, like it did on IOS12.

So I’ve had to disable 5Ghz completely on my router.

Not great...

I haven't really had issues, Im just not sure I like it. Some very questionable UI changes that just make things a bit less simple. Also the smaller icons in portrait mode are spaced out to where they look weird.

This isn't an early beta. I say install.

I say go for it. I’ve had 13 on my iPP 11 since db3. Turns you iPad into a whole new system.
