With the iPadOS and catalina update (DEV Betas) that were released today sidecar is now working for me.
Any idea if Apple will let non developers acces iOS 13 GM? Had this happened with the past releases?
Public beta testers never get the GM via the profile. They also seed the 13.1 beta already so there is no way for them to „backwards seed“ a potential GM anyways.
Who are they? And how so?So in a way they are more confident that iOS 13.1 is more stable than iOS 13 GM
So just to get it right.
I am a public beta tester with PB7 on both my iPhone and my iPad.
My options now are:
1) Update my iPhone (but not iPad?) to 13.0 GM with IPSW; or
2) Update both to iOS 13.1 PB3 (when it comes out for PB testers); or
3) Remove the PB profile now and wait for iPhone to upgrade to iOS 13 official release on 19 Sep and iPad on 30 Sep?
Is this it or have I missed anything?

Either option is fine. Are you getting new iPhone? If you are, remove profile to update to public release next week or get the GM to do a full backup in case. If not, with consideration to iOS 13.1 release at the end of the month, stay on beta train since public beta should be coming tomorrow.

Thanks! No new iPhone this time, so will probably update both devices to iOS 13.1 PB 3 when it is out, so they remain “equal”.
PS What iOS will be running on Apple’s new 10.2” iPads, I wonder, as it looks like iPadOS 13 will not be ready until 30 Sep?
Update: I ended up updating my iPhone 7 to iOS 13.0 GM with IPWS file, went really well. Now waiting to update iPad Air 2 to iOS 13.1 PB3 as soon as it comes out.

Yes, I was wondering the same, what happened with the public beta. Maybe this afternoon?
Hopefully both the iPadOS OTA public beta and the Catalina OTA public beta are out today.
BTW, I’d like to see Persistent Hotspot actually work persistently between my iPhone and iPad Pro.
Reply to my own post, I was thinking about this, they have a set date of 9/30 for 13.1 release. So since he only said “later this Fall” for Deep Fusion, I’m guessing that means it won’t be in 13.1, but probably 13.2. Otherwise they would have said it’ll be available on the 30th
I assume my iPad Air 2 is too old for this to work. It worked really well in an early beta, but it stopped working after a few and hasn't shown up since.
iPad Air 2 doesn’t support hardware HEVC decode. I guess they are restricting it to HEVC setups for quality (or speed?) reasons because if you use h.264 (like with hacked versions of Sidecar), the quality is noticeably worse.
How was the quality for you when it worked on the iPad Air 2? With a MacBook 12” 2017 and iPad Pro 10.5, it’s essentially perfect, with no pixelation or image degradation, and no significant lag.
still have no idea when tvOS13 is being released and HomePod iOS13
Probably on the 19th.
I have the ipad mini 5 now. The quality is actually really good and it's very responsive. The only downside is that it's a mini... so it's a little small for comfort.
mini 5 has full HEVC decode acceleration in hardware. But yeah, screen is way too small.
Has Apple ever released a final build different than the GM? Because with no one being able to get native mail working on the GM, it is going to be a disaster for them if this is released, unless its a backend server issue they can fix.
Except Apple’s servers were probably extra hammered yesterday with developers getting hold of their GM IPSWs, so yes, hopefully we will see iOS 13.1 PB3 today.
