iPadOS: Who’s excited?

[nikkisharif]

This is probably the first time I’m able to see an iPad as more than something to view movies on & take basic notes. I’m really excited about iPadOS & might need to purchase a new larger one LOL.

Like the title says...who’s excited for all the stuff we should have had years ago on the iPad?

 

[Rob Phillips]

I am! It’s about time iPad got a separate OS.

This was quite unexpected. This is something I've been vocal about for a VERY VERY long time. I'm excited to see it come to fruition. I'm definitely excited about this.

Very interesting features for the iPad and I’ll be looking to see if sales will improve in the future

Finally the ipad can be considered an actual laptop replacement...well, at least on the path to being one.

This. I'm actually pretty interested in seeing if I can now completely go all in on the iPad and leave my Macbook alone. I plan on trying it out and if so, my MacBook may be going up for sale to help upgrade to the latest ipad Pro lol.

Did they say which iPads will be eligible for iPadOS?

 

[nikkisharif]

They also said you can use iPad as an extension to the MacBook Pro Time to upgrade LOL

Did they say which iPads will be eligible for iPadOS?

I might have missed that in my excitement, Annie LOL

It looks very cool! I’ll have to teach the kids how to use their iPads again. Or they’ll have to teach me.

Just saw this from Cult of Mac via Twitter! Looks like my iPad Air 2 WILL be eligible for iPadOS 13! I'm so relieved!

Yep, I installed it on mine last night.

I’m mostly excited that they finally separated iPhoneOS and iPadOS. We’ll see how I like using it going forward.

I am excited. I like the direction Apple is taking with iPad and iOS. I am getting a raise from my employer, so it looks like a new iPad Mini is a possibility!

Agree. With all the power the ipads have, it was a shame they were being held back by the OS. Will be interesting to see where ipad OS goes in the coming years.

I am excited about the direction Apple is going in. Right now it's still just iOS, but in the future it could be a platform that's truly unique.

I’m so excited about iPad OS. To be honest I expected something big like this when I bough the iPad Pro last year and I’m not disappointed at all. Great files support, mouse support, improvements multi-tasking, that amazing new way to do mark up. This would’ve been perfect going through university.

 

[Annie_M]

I think that having a separate OS for the iPad is wonderful. I'm looking forward to exploring when it's released this fall!

Yes. Just google it and you can find a complete list.

I did, and am thrilled that my iPad Air 2 is eligible!
