I haven't tried yet. A friend of mine is getting 'unknown error 4000' and it won't install. If only these messages were more descriptive...

Installed on a couple of devices this morning. Other than a bit slow to download (servers getting hammered?), no issues at all.

Done iPhone and iPad - no issues.

 

Takes a very long time.

I've been using it for a while in Beta. 

 

Switched to the GM yesterday and unenrolled from the Beta program (as I usually do at this time in the cycle). 

 

 

 

I have found it to be pretty stable, good to use and the widgets are a nice touch, but nothing earth-shattering for me. 

 

The biggest thing is Spatial Audio with my AirPods Pro. Wow. Just WOW!  I'm sure the novelty will wear off, but holy moly! Such a cool feature from a novelty perspective.

I read something about recently about the AirPods Pro new OS recently and checked earlier this morning - sure enough they had updated themselves.

 

I have checked that Spatial Audio is enabled in iPad settings. I’m interested to know what you used to listen and demonstrate it to yourself?

Video on the Apple TV app (either iPhone or iPad). 

 

I watched a little of a few different videos, but the most striking was Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse (I think because of it's over-the-top nature). 

 

Basically, set the video in motion, place the device in one spot and move your head around in different directions, effectively looking away from the device. The sound stays locked in place while you move around, so it sounds like you have High Definition speakers playing in a fixed position (if that makes sense). 

 

I don't know how much use it is right now, but it's cool to play with.

I have and I have found no issues. All my key Apps are working fine. I have also updated my iPd Pro without any issues. I am currently updating my watch and that is taking a very long time indeed.





Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Thanks. I tried it on a couple of ATV videos on iPad and couldn’t really tell anything much was going on. Then while watching ‘Ted Lasso’ I went to Control Panel and turned Spatial off (long press on volume slider). By comparison the ordinary stereo audio sounded very flat. Switched back to Spatial and speech sounded lively and more ‘3D’ by comparison. Agree it’s sorta cool but ....

Native Mail app is broken for me. Has bee all through Beta testing also. Shared Mailbox will not work with Office 365 account. Worked fine on ios13. Now having to use Outlook app to work around this. Very frustrating.

3 failed attempts to update Apple Watch series 3. Each time it says I’m not connected to the Internet after spending 1.5 to 2 hrs downloading to the AW!!!

updated mine this morning, so far so good.

 

one cool thing I noticed so far is when I was using the phone and a phone call came through it came up as a notification badge rather than taking over the whole screen, thought it was very neat!
