You're not gonna find much of a bigger fanboy than me, but these updates are kinda crazy. I think it's pretty clear 13 was rushed to meet the iPhone 11 release deadline. I usually never have software issues after a release. This year they were pretty apparent. It's good they are fixing things no doubt, but it'd be nice if they were more polished right away.
Got a tip for us?

I'm not applying 13.1.2. I'm waiting 30 minutes for 13.1.3.
Crap just updated from iOS 12 where my iPhone XR would not stream music in my car to 13.1 where it now works
While it is true that we could simply choose not to update, some of us rely on updates to fix issues. One of the issues that iOS 13 brought was that streaming to cochlear implants was broken - meaning I can no longer use a phone or listen to videos until the issues are fixed, hearing people are lucky they don’t have to deal with the limitations of deafness. Update after update, hoping the issues are fixed, becomes time-consuming. Not everyone is always aware of all use cases.
almost daily, just what I said in my original post.
Keep'm coming. Means they're killing off bugs.
There's no disagreement that 13.0.0 was a bit of a low point in iOS release quality.
The question is: what is Apple going to do about it? It was apparently too late in the development cycle to roll the changes back and ship the iPhones 11 with a special build of iOS 12. (One possible reason: the significant changes to the camera app.)
The harm was already done.
So instead, they removed a number of non-essential features from 13.0 to reduce the risk. Now, having shipped 13.0, they've started rolling out fixes. I think doing so twice a week is a bit much (once a week seems like plenty), but I'm also not sure that's much of a problem. Either way, a few weeks from now, iOS 13.x will probably be just fine.
I would consider these as higher priority defects. These are really Zero Day or Zero Day+1 defects or production incidents.
That is a lot in a short time frame but hope every issue is resolved.
Goodness, yall. If you’re so sick of the daily updates, just turn on automatic updates and let it do its thing when you’re sleep. Also, make sure your less-techy family members and friends have that turned on.
Much rather these fixes coming weekly or bi-weekly fixing these issues than them not being fixed at all.

I'm expecting at least another 1-2 more updates in the next week. Apple has to fix the mail bugs in their native mail app.
Mine has been fine since 13.1. Yes I did have issues before that with no notifications. I have a yahoo, exchange and an iCloud account in my mail app. Maybe mine is broken because it works now??
MAIL still isn't fixed. Still sending blocked senders to Inbox instead of Trash. 
Thought I could install Software Updates on my Apple Watch without my iPhone starting in WatchOS 6. But no, I have to read the Terms and Conditions on my iPhone, why Apple? What is so difficult making it possible to read the Terms and Conditions on my Apple Watch, I can read similar sized texts via email on my Apple Watch without any problems.
