iPadOS public beta: top 6 features

Apple released the public beta for iPadOS. Anybody can go and install it right now. You have probably heard about the improved multitasking, but what about all the other features? Safari Desktop, swipe keyboard, new home screen, and a much better video editor are all reasons to think about upgrading — but maybe wait until it's stable.

Do you usually download betas or wait for the update to be released?

Dieter's temperature of excitement of the IPADOS just burned my screen through

I think Apple did great with iPadOS. They finally listened to many of our complaints.

There's no need to buy apps like Duet anymore, thanks to Sidecar!

honestly, I want Dieter to make every Verge video

iPadOS has seriously sped up my workflow. It’s literally amazing and I’m so thankful for this update. Also, the FaceID is a bunch faster

It’s only a real OS when Apple starts naming subsequent versions after islands like Catalina.

Files is probably the biggest thing everyone has ever wanted since the beginning

Been using iPad Pro as my only computing device for 2 years. These features make it a brilliant decision 😊

For those who just can’t stop bragging how their androids have been able to do all this, good luck on doing desktop-class browsing, fast RAW photo and 4K video editing, professional level digital art and more on your Android. People are excited about iPads finally being able to do these things because they do a lot of other things so damn well already.

So now iPads are actually computers instead of just iPhones with giant screens???

Congrats apple, you finally made iPad actually useful. Totally didn't take ten years.

I just installed this on my iPad Pro 11” and it’s incredible so far! I haven’t noticed any big flaws or anything yet, so that’s good!

Hey verge, are y’all making a whole review on the Mac Pro Stand?!

[reggiefurlow]

I'm so excited that I'm getting me new iPad pro with this update around the corner!

I didnt check the name of the channel when clicking the video so when he started speaking i got so excited. I love this guy's content

I was saving up and ended up bought a Surface Pro 6 for my mobile needs. If I knew that there would be iPadOS, I would totally pick an iPad Pro. Well, the Surface Pro is great, tho. But Windows is not really optimized for touch screen.

All of that sounds pretty cool! I’d love an Authenticator app from Apple.

I haven’t had a iPad since 2017, when I heard of iPadOS I went out and got the 2019 iPad Air. I know it’s no Pro but it has all the same features for a much cheaper price.
