[@myrcenepapi]

Thanks for this update, Fernando! 🐈

[@flamingkillermc2806]

Bruh they need to add eject option on files app, I have literally corrupted drives because apple thinks you can just yank a drive out without ejecting.......

[@krishna_nadoor]

For real

[@coopermatthewsprivate]

iPad os nests mounted drives in a virtual drive and computes all the edits and uploads to the virtual drive before writing it all at once to the physical drive, if you take it out during this process put it back in and the cache in the virtual drive will clean it up back to before the transfer began

[@flamingkillermc2806]

@@coopermatthewsprivate bruh you don't know what you are talking about, it doesn't use a virtual drive. Also tell that to my corrupted drive 💀

[@coopermatthewsprivate]

@@flamingkillermc2806 I would say I work at a mobiles device repair shop and use these operating systems daily, but I don’t think that’s gonna work on a Minecraft kid. I know what I’m talking about. They compute a disk image in the same container and then unmount it on iOS and iPadOS devices before essentially flashing it to the physical drive, to make the actual data transfer happening on the disk quicker, but not the whole process. ☺️☺️

[@JeffPom]

Difficult to see against that white background when you point out things like the power button in control center and the plus button for customization.

[@donyoung333]

For stage manager I want the ability to tile like you can on macOS - maybe also the iPhone mirroring finally the ability to right click on a file and open with any app that can read the format

[@jayemery]

Yes! I was thinking exactly the same thing.

[@alexandr_kk]

Why the circle icons in the control center tho… I hate it! Doesn’t feel like Apple at all…😢

[@BUY_YOUTUB_VIEWS_280]

This video deserves all the recognition it can get. Sharing it everywhere!

[@jessebutler9352]

Ooopfh it was still too soon for this salty feeling Canadian to see Panthers merch today.

[@tarekabdallahtaha]

Hi good job can u put please the link of the wallpaper?

[@lgreen666]

🐈… pleased to see a couple of real world new features

[@LAFadhel]

The Menu Bar is very promising. Considering we are getting more Pro Apps for iPad, even though we aren’t getting full fledged Mac Apps. I do appreciate that iOS and iPadOS Apps are becoming more distinct.

[@TheKurtLyon]

Thanks for keeping us updated. 👍

[@garycroftsmicroscopy]

Does the format in files work on SD cards? Cause that would be a win

[@orangeofmars2835]

Very nice that I will now be able to format external SSDs. Major really.

[@timetofly6370]

Formatting ssd is great, should have been there from the start. But why no “eject” button in that context menu?

[@Morris_012]

Freeform is working well now))

[@yvindholtskog2521]

Where can i get my hands on that amazing wallpaper?😮

[@vlad2718]

I swear: I am switching from Notability to Apple notes and 5min ago I realized the thumbnails don’t update instantly, inly when you reopen the app. I was devastated. Then I saw your video that beta 2 was out and updated. Now they update instantly. :D

[@Karlywn]

Use good notes, it’s very good for notes trust me

[@GreedTheOwl]

Where did you get that wallpaper from ?

[@user-zc6zk7xb9i]

Is sideloading coming to all countries

[@lamarcabrian]

They should bring continuity camera on the ipad. But I realize the iphone’s weight might make the ipad in the magic keyboard tip over

[@mikea8294]

For some reason the pixel eraser option is not working properly in Notes with beta 2.

[@32poppasavage28]

On my 11in M4 the update size is 6.98gb

[@JamesWilliams-ps6xz]

Please cover accessibility updates

[@brunoadame4667]

Have you noticed the new iPad Pro being lower in volume at almost all volume levels (except the max) than an iPhone or iPad Air M1. I’m trying to figure out if I got a faulty product: at the store they said it’s the latest update.

[@gp16524]

iPad mini did not fair well with this beta and I had to restore back to 17.5.1

[@Grayson_the_bozo]

Do I have to update in order to go back to normal

[@Aaron_Bleu]

So disappointed in iPadOS 18. They don’t want to make iPad too perfect, Apple made the software so you to still have to buy a MacBook and use this as a device to compliment it. Makes me sad because this could be my everything device but they refuse to give us the OS updates that we really want(Finder + proper multi-tasking)

[@techfeanology6437]

Don't forget that we still don't have a full version of Office.

[@PedroLopezBeanEater]

LOL! Different tools for different jobs. They are not handicapping iPads to force you to buy a Mac 🙄

[@kamoflawedhawg535]

What you are suggesting would kill their MacBook sales… that wouldn’t be a smart business move. Get a Surface Pro if you want a TabletPC. iPad is perfect for ppl who can grasp the fact they are using a TABLET, not a laptop lol.

[@Generic321]

A calculator and the ability to format drives makes iPad OS less of a joke, but it still has a long way to go. I still need MacOS to complete the most basic tasks in Apple Music (like changing song times) which is a major frustration.

[@PedroLopezBeanEater]

The menu for sending pics, etc in messages has been refined.

[@tedzards509]

3:38 The menu customization will definitely need some more polish.

[@briannhinton]

Can you eject drives yet?

[@peat381low8]

Love the mustache.

[@burtmabel545]

Does iPadOS 18 now have battery health option available? Thanks Fernando.

[@pocandrossignol]

only new iPad Pro 2024 and iPad Air 2024.

[@sachinnothere]

is it fine to install beta? someone?? daily driveable???

[@explorer2945]

Is this whole sideloading thing only in the EU?

[@krishna_nadoor]

Yes as far as I know, but you can sideload via altstore in either case

[@TadpoleArtz]

I hope eventually we can “preview” archive files (like zip,rar) without having the export 😭😭😭

[@connermaxwell-ve1qi]

An easier improvement for the control center would be breaking the wifi away from that group of settings. Just saying.

[@techguy943]

RECOMMENDATION: You could have bought an SSD for demoing the formatting of an SSD in the Files app That feature will be helpful because for some reason my LaCie SSD which I got for Christmas last year now shows me a date created and date modified as December 31 1969 when I tap on the "Get Info" option on my iPad Files app

[@PedroLopezBeanEater]

Telling a man to spend his money. Tough crowd. Sheesh.

[@techguy943]

@@PedroLopezBeanEaterI mean IF he wanted to demonstrate formatting an SSD It's common sense to use an EMPTY SSD to demonstrate the feature of formatting an external drive

[@krishna_nadoor]

When is apple going to add a restart button???

[@jacobmaz8157]

I need 16 fb for my update it says…

[@david2082]

Go Panthers! Parade on Sunday at FLL beach.

[@bartekm4280]

All I want is deaktop metatrader app on iPad….

[@samuelmsamala18]

On my M2 12.9 inch it was 6.1 gig

[@justgregkas]

Your download was likely 6.1gb because it was the first time your installed the iPadOS 18 dev beta. If you did not install the original beta that was released at WWDC, and waited for the Beta 2, the download would be larger than those already using the beta.

[@robertpublicover]

😻

[@CodexAdrian]

"If i move this over I can do that." _proceeds to fail twice at moving over the button in control center_

[@premier4744]

Apple just needs to fix multi-tasking with beta 3

[@dennisvanmierlo]

Still no proper eject button to safely eject an external drive. When will Apple learn...

[@grahamjones3259]

The once thing that sticks out like a sore thumb is the wasted space when you use control centre on iPadOS. Why are they not building a bespoke control centre for iPad. There is so much more they could put in there besides the usual stuff, and it would allow people to have everything they need the most on the fist page if it used up the whole of the screen. While I’m glad they are allowing for greater customisation of iPadOS, they can go so much further. This nonsense about letting iPad be iPad is holding it back. The whole point is iPad used to be something else, and if you want you can still use it that way, but it has so much more capability now, and if they aren’t;t going to make it more capable and flexible then whey are they putting an M4 chip in the thing? The changes to the Home Screen are a precursor for greater windowing without flipping a switch for Stage Manager, which is still not the user experience it should be. When you have answers on the mac then use them where they make sense on the iPad. Nobody will be offended if it starts to look a bit more like MacOS. Those whop don’t want it can always keep it the way they’ve always had it and use it that way without getting in the way of people who do want those other features the Mac enjoys.

[@fluxnekta]

Mine says 6.5gb

[@pandaengine]

WHy no iphone mirroring on iPad??? Because that's an iPadOS 19 feature! Remember me!!!

[@Michael-ur5qb]

To all the people who say “it’s an Ipad.” If it weren’t for those of us who asked and demanded more you wouldn’t have large screen iphones, pens that worked on Ipads, even the Pro level Ipads. We’re paying consumers all we are asking is for our monies worth.

[@jakubLonghorn]

This guy is precious.

[@alexmeh]

Hardly

[@PhxSml]

Can someone count the number of times he said ‘little’ please?

[@minimalist247]

Next time please zoom the camera in during such explanatory videos. Easier for the viewer. Thanx.

[@lottaricotta4489]

Go Cats!

[@blessdarah1256]

Who's having airpods Pro problems on iOS 18?

[@zebonautsmith1541]

Caution; many reports of iPadOS Beta 2 bricking devices into boot loops. Fix requires Apple Configurator on a non-Beta Device otherwise it won't mount in recovery mode.

[@dandansfu]

I get its beta, but for a company this big and not building something new from ground up and have hardware/software in house. it just seems past few years, it will happen, maybe not to everyone, but it would happen

[@PedroLopezBeanEater]

Nah.

Again, iPad os, kindergarten levels updates.for years already.

[@slickbill9488]

It’s a tablet that does exactly what it should do. If we wanted something different we would buy a Mac

[@chidorirasenganz]

Kindergarten OS if you don’t know how to use it I guess

[@Nsfwstar]

​@@slickbill9488 stop saying that is because is a tablet, not other tablets are limited like the ipad, is only the ipad that is like that While other tablets are able to flash drives, and emulate Windows games via wine and even android tablets are able to virtualize Windows entirely, so is not a tablet thing stop lying xd

[@sachinnothere]

@@Nsfwstar then go use android tablets ! Stop ranting here

[@Nsfwstar]

@@sachinnothere lmao, i love technology that's why i like to see any update in software regardless the company But im not a sheep, i have the ability to say if something is annoying or just plain awful, and if having self criteria is" ranting" in your eyes well i will say this it in your own style " keep using your useless ipad os sheep boy" (Also just wanted to add that you didn't said that i was telling a lie, about the ipad being the only tablet that is so limited in software capabilities in purpose unlike any other tablets with android or windows , so why are you attacking my comment if you know is true ? mao )
