I keep reading and hearing what you're saying, but I have been running iPadOS since beta 1 and iOS since beta 2 without many issues. If these are considered so buggy that we need warnings, then we really have been spoiled with the high quality of production releases.

Bugs I've seen:

- Random graphical artifacts/issues related to dark mode.

- BT sometimes disconnects/reconnects - is this really any different than BT normally? ;) - just hit play again usually works.

- Camera app occasionally crashes.

- Tapping the lock screen with the pencil brings up the last note, but sometimes I still have to FaceId to make the note editable.

Battery life has seemed slightly worse to fine.

It's good to remember this is beta software, but the adjectives used to describe the poor quality of this beta have been a little over the top IME.

I can’t type with a third party keyboard on ios beta. Or let’s say I can type once every 30 times. So at this point I’m must using the native ios keyboard and I hate it. That puts me in the “it’s very very buggy” camp.
I flashed an iPad air with iPad is, and within 2 minutes after the onboarding flow, it completely locked up and would not recover, had to be hard rebooted. That's pretty buggy.
