I used to be able to very quickly transfer a large number (50 plus) of RAW photos (24mb each) using the Apple SD card reader to USB-C transfer to my 12.9" iPad 2018 (3rd gen.) when it ran the ORIGINAL iPadOS but with the subsequent beta updates all the way through to today's 13.5 that process now takes so long I don't even bother doing it anymore. What has changed in iPadOS that made what used to be a very fast transfer process into a too slow useless process?

I used to review photos before leaving a location to make sure I got what I wanted but now I don't even bother taking my iPad with me anymore.

Not a good metric to compare performance on any level between betas and release products. Betas by definition frequently lack optimizations that release products routinely enjoy.

If using a beta hampers your normal workflow, might be best to isolate them for testing only, and resist relying on one as a DD. That, or like others, use multiple devices so you can sequester test mules and still go about your normal life.

Keeping in mind that Apple watches betas regardless, if it makes you feel better, feel free to file bugs, beta and release, as they help prioritize, etc., being sure to add your report #(s) to your thread for ref.

Good luck.
