Wow. CarPlay works for you? It's a hot crappy mess in my car. maybe it's because it's BMW and it's wireless, but I can't get maps to stay giving me directions it keeps reverting back to the overview, the music will stop and I have to open up the music app and restart it, Waze won't open at all...

So, after some time with iOS 13 on my iPhone XS MAX – here are my notes.
  • Most things just work. Overall the system is stable and adequately usable. There are ample UI glitches, but nothing one cant ignore.
Broken things
  • Notifications.
    • Calls - randomly wont notify on some calls on the phone or watch.
    • Mail - You will get the audible sound, and see a banner but the badge count does not appear or reflect missed messages.
  • Mail App
    • Mail app is noticeably slow to open from closed.
    • Sometimes it wont “refresh” new mail even after getting a notification.
    • Some messages deleted in Mail don’t sync delete across server.
  • Settings App.
    • Trying to access certain – non critical settings will crash the settings app.
    • Push / Fetch settings per account in particular crashes for me every time I attempt to access.

What works / What I Like.
  • CarPlay. It works. And it works well.
    • New widget screen is really nice.
    • New calendar app is super helpful to have that little reminder.
    • Album art loading slow is really the only issue ive had.
  • Most apps work.
    • Have not had any critical app issues. Everything again just kinda works.
    • Feedback app did crash once for me in the middle of filling out a report.
    • FaceID worked right away from me, and no issues with it in apps that use it either. Not only that is seriously fast. Most the time its already done before I can realize it.
    • Apple Wallet works fine
    • Safari is FAST now. And really smooth.
    • New Photos app is really nice. I like the new setup a lot more.
    • Also, the App store got an update and it moved App Updates.. I actually particularly like the new location.
  • Dual Sim
    • iMessage/Facetime on both lines now is really nice. Simple setting to activate.
    • No other major enhancements to dual sim yet.
    • Additionally – iOS 13 seems to update the Verizon PRL’s and I have significantly better service in most places.
  • New Health + Activity apps
    • I really like the look of the new health app.
    • I don’t like that you cant really sort the summery to your liking yet. You can only set what you want to see.
    • Trending sheet in Activity is really nice too. The insights are nice, though limited for now.


Apple Watch – WatchOS 6 – Series 4 Nike +
  • So far it works rather smoothly. No issues after update with pairing.
  • A few hiccups with customization settings on the iPhone app directly. They don’t seem to load right and wont show in the app. Adjusting on the watch works just fine.
  • Lots of new really helpful settings – like the ability to turn off Siri on digital crown press. Helpful in turning off the random Siri nags from your wrist being bent.

Great post!
[doublepost=1559745165][/doublepost]Don't forget: post little features that you find that Apple did not present at the keynote here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-ipad-os-13-all-the-little-things.2184175/

There seem to be so many, I'm not sure how they plan to tell the public (99.9% of whom did not watch the keynote...)

Yea 2015 Hyundai Sonata with Nav pack for me.. works great and very fluid. BMW's implementation from what i here is kinda sketch as is with being subscription model. doesn't overly surprise me. a lot of the components are likely not built in to the Head unit directly, but sitting up in the cloud (for control of sub) where Hyundai built it native. added a couple pics of it in action :)

In CarPlay, in my 2013 Wrangler with a Kenwood head unit, both Waze and Google Maps display only in nighttime mode during the day regardless of my iPhone or headlight settings. Apple Maps displays a light (daytime) map during the day. I haven’t found a way to change the Waze or Google Maps display in my vehicle.

I'm interested to see how this works. I have a VZW e-sim and a Vodaphone physical SIM. Would be great to have it "just work"
Click to expand...

I have T-Mobile eSim and Xfinity Mobile (Verizon) physical. Yours is an interesting combination... Are you back and forth across the pond often!?
 
Was kinda sad that new slide typing doesn't support more languages. I know they might broaden the support but the normal predictions doesn't work either on my language (Finnish). So can't really keep my hopes up here.

In regards to the iMessage/FaceTime on both lines of a dual sim its increadibly painless.. just check the setting :)

I am excited about some of the new features, but are they allowing in anyway to disable voicemail transcription? That feature is worthless to me as it sometimes takes up to 30 minutes to get a voicemail, not to mention it always gets things wrong. I just went in and changed the voice as a work around to stop the transcription and voicemails are instant now, but I am truly hoping Apple gives us the ability to disable it. I am sure it works great for some, but a feature I do not need.

What is the default location for downloaded files? Files → On My iPad/iPhone → Safari? Or something else? Is it configurable?

Thanks!

Settings -> Safari -> Downloads. Saves to a downloads folder in iCloud Drive by default but you're free to put it locally or another storage provider. I can save directly to my NAS at home from anywhere!

Quick question: can anyone add a SMB server in Files.app? I get a error.

And yes, i know its beta 1 and there are a lot of bugs but i’m just curious.
 
I don’t know if this is a bug or I just cant figure it out, but I can’t get rid of a slide over app without actually closing the app. Before you could just slide from the top bar to off the screen to get rid of it.

Someone mentioned a few pages back that they're having the same issue. Probably just not working in Beta 1.

And I think there was a post just a few down from that one that confirmed that it is not yet active.

Looks like someone reached out to Craig Federighi about the OTA Profile

They get an "A" for effort!

In the address bar, tap the two aA button to get the web page settings. It shows as an option on there.

Thanks! I didn’t know the option was now there (much more logical than having it under the Share button).

However, it doesn’t work :(

Safari thinks it’s already showing the desktop site and you only have the option to switch to the mobile one.

I have AT&T but work in a secure area with no cell coverage and only a VZW repeater. When eSim became available I picked up VZW as a second line (I have my reasons for not switching entirely) and have been forwarding my calls to the VZW line and changing the line the Messages app uses when I go to work - pain!

After updating to 13 I freaked out when I saw that the ability to change the line Messages uses was gone, but then saw the device count had increased by 1 under Send & Receive. Being able to set up Messages on my phone now as we’ve been able to on an iPad is such a welcome update. Now if we just get the split keyboard on the iPad Pro 11!

Just a brief pause between each word and it auto spaces. No need to touch the space bar.

It's been a long time since I used Swype, but I'm not not crazy about having to remove my finger to space, as that slows down typing.

I realize auto-correct is supposed to fix it, but I also feel like there was an easier way to capitalize a letter on Swype. Am I wrong?
 
Has anyone been able to get location notification to work in "Find My". I can see the person but when trying to set up a notification if they leave that area I get and error message?
