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?
 
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.

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.
