I mean the fact that Apple is making a new rev to the OS is not exactly shocking news. And I bet they will have a faster processor in the future too! I can't imagine there is a whole lot that can be gleaned from weblog trolling that is a big secret. I mean if you told me the user agent claimed to be Chrome that would be surprising, but safari running on an iOS device not exactly news.
Got a tip for us?

Customizable home screen layout, true widgets on the home screen, split screen, dark mode. I see no reason these cannot be added to iPhone iOS. The sky is the limit on iPad iOS. It’s obvious Apple is slowly moving towards a productivity focused iOS for the iPad. I wonder if they eventually call it MacOS, PhoneOS, PadOS, WatchOS, tvOS, etc.
Wonder how Apple employees, angry and hurt after the recent debacles, will unleash iOS 13 on users with older devices - the very people those who caused all this anguish and bad PR for the company by refusing to upgrade on a (previously) reliable schedule?
I'm not what many consider an Apple fanboy but I don't subscribe to the theory they are maliciously screwing over their customers by purposely slowing down their devices. Now what usually happens is that "A" company will target newer devices first that are faster than the older ones. But it's up to the individual whether he/she wants to upgrade and that's what Youtube is for and the many responses posted on various forums. This is no different than designing software for videogame consoles. The developer targets a segment of hardware and builds around that.
That said, I think the A7's will be dropped because they are going on 5 upgrades (iOS 7-12) and that's usually the cutoff.
High hopes for 13. The chips are so powerful now, but held back by iOS restrictions, i.e the iPad Pro getting USB C and clocking at 17K GB4, but not being able to do something so simple as work off an external hard drives media files.
There's usually a hardware reason for support cutoff, last big one was 32 bit. So I think the next will be 1GB RAM devices, which would include the A8.

Wholeheartedly agree that we need a new paradigm in iOS file manager and multitasking as fluid as OSX. Printing in iOS is very weak and with the same connector that's a head scratcher. In fact, what would be a game changer is to effectively get rid of iOS and have essentially OSX across all platforms. Stop trying to dumb down the tablets. Watch iPad pro line SOAR!!!! Dark mode...meh....more bling bling with no utility. Sure it's a nice to have but does little to further the platform.
