I couldn't see a thread for this, so wanted to get one kicked off now that iPadOS is an OS in it's own right and no longer just an extension of iOS.

A few initial details here: https://www.macworld.com/article/3400856/ipados-helps-make-ipad-a-laptop-replacement.html

I'm not sure if I've bought into the hype, but being able to plug in, access and use other devices along with a more certain step towards a file system are game changers for me, so much so that I recently sold my MacBook Pro. The power in the iPad Pros feels comparable, and it just needs iPadOS to catch up.

Anyone running the beta?

Is this out on the 30th?

It is out tomorrow.

And this is what I was waiting for. iPad powering two USB hard drives at once - able to easily transfer files across all of them.



My main use for my MacBook was some editing on the move and storage of photos and videos, with space at a real premium being normally on a motorbike for a few days. Effectively running as a storage hub, offering editing too if needed and being able to transfer files back to memory cards (for navigation etc) means that the MacBook is no longer required
