Apple Releases iOS 12.4 With New Wireless Data Migration When Setting Up a New iPhone and Apple News+ Improvements

Apple is creating the credit card because it helps them keep existing users tied to their ecosystem by making it harder to switch to another platform such as Android, and may even yield them some profits too. As to why people queue up for it, I think that's just a result of all the hype Apple creates around everything they do.
Also note that a credit card by itself doesn't necessarily get anyone in debt. People get themselves in debt because they don't use their credit cards responsibly.
So many things wrong with this post it's hard to figure out where to start.
Where did you get this notion that engineering teams are segregated by their relative skills or qualifications?
If there is an "A team" why would you assume it would work on older iOS versions?
You do realize that iOS 13 is a BETA, and that whatever issues you've come across have nothing to do with the skills and qualifications of the people who work on it, but rather the fact that it's a BETA.

Am I missing something? When did Apple start issuing Apple Cards to the general public, or even start accepting applications?
Because I’m lazy, I generally sell my phone back to Apple in-store when I upgrade to a new phone. I’ll be interested to see the workflow of doing that and using the new wireless transfer.
I think I’ve always wiped the old phone and handed it over before they gave me the new one.

They obviously haven't started issuing cards or even accepting applications. What I meant to say was that I still think Apple will probably enable remotely the support for the Apple Card in settings and wallet in a few days, so that everyone already running iOS 12.4 by then can go ahead and apply for and, if approved, get their Apple card without having to install any other software update. And my statement was based on the fact that internal testers who have already applied for and used the Apple card in the last few weeks were running the betas of either iOS 12.4 or the iOS 13.

Not even that. If, as I still think, support for the Apple Card was indeed included in iOS 12.4 but hidden, then the option for everyone to apply for the Apple card can easily be enabled remotely by Apple in a few days for everyone already running on that software update by then (just like the Apple Pay cash card was remotely enabled in 2017) and then no further updates for iOS 12 would be required.
There's pretty much always a minor update after an update for unexpected bug fixes. 12.4 will not be the final release before iOS 13.
You must be new. It is practically a meme the way people who don’t understand software excuse every single issue as “it’s beta”. Then when it comes out of beta and the core issues still exist, you people vanish back into the woodwork.
What is the harm? Some members here check for flagged responses to their specific posts rather than scroll through dozens of posts to find an answer.

Yes, it does. I was offered to do so when doing a clean install after removing iPad OS 13 beta. I chose to go manually, so I can’t comment on how well it works, but the option is there.
This does not change iTunes backup/restore. It'll be available for a very long time to come.
The update shows in Settings > General > Software Update. I’ve just updated an iPod running the beta to the full version today.

Yes, it’s directly from device to device, from what I’ve read.
[doublepost=1563846300][/doublepost]
It’s been updated now. Also, at the end of the Transfer section you’ll see that there’s a wired option, too!
Perhaps you used Quick Start, which is a bit quicker and easier than the previous method, but still uses an iCloud backup to transfer your date to your new device. This bypasses iCloud altogether, it seems, and does a direct device-to-device transfer.
12.4 is probably the last point release for the 12 version of iOS. It appears that Apple realizes the importance of leaving iOS 12 EOL devices with a solid release. This has not always been the case in the past. Sooo many other EOL releases worked but they pretty much bricked the devices. iOS 12 outperforms iOS 11 on supported devices. That is no small feat. It took a lot of rewrites and optimizations to pull that off.
Will this be an encrypted backup and restore?
For me, itunes encrypted backup is only option. Who wants to re-enter passwords for 100 apps and 10 email addresses ??

Just updated my iPhone SE 64gb this morning & its deleted around 5000 of 7500 photos ! They still show on my Mac & iPad, but absolutely not there on my phone. Worst bug I've had yet with an update. I'd be interested if i'm the only one with this issue? I'm a photographer so these aren't just 1000's of phone selfies that have gone missing 
I mean I have the originals in lightroom, but its destroyed all my synced albums etc...Slightly worrying...

Do you use iCloud Photo Library? I don’t use it for this specific reason. Apple can’t seem to easily sync photos/videos across all devices. Same reason why I don’t use iCloud Music Library. No thank you.
"propagate to all users"??
Never felt any delay whatsoever on iOS.. Android monthly patches propagate like hell .. sometimes for days or weeks. That's the whole beauty of iOS.. you don't have to deal with delayed patch downloads..
