Is there anyone on here that understands why Apple persists in releasing software updates so defective that a deluge of .x updates to infinity are needed within a week or so? Unbelievable!
The people at Apple are human, and humans make mistakes. Be happy that Apple are actually working on resolving problems instead of leaving us to fend for ourselves.
 
Sadly, I can’t see much of difference on my iPad. Still no multitasking from search which is my biggest complaint.

The person making the big mistake is the person (Cook?) making the decision to release defective software until it's fixed and wasting user's time and cluttering up these forums discussing the mess so they have free troubleshooting instead of doing it in house.
Thirty years ago, Apple software worked when initially released. Granted, it was an order of magnitude smaller, but so was Apple's staff and reserve capital.

Tell that to all the people who installed Mobile Me.

I would question your assumptions here:

1. I can’t believe that Apple would knowingly release defective software knowing full well it may tarnish their image and require unnecessary resources to resolve problems.

2. Cluttering up these forums is not the fault of Apple, it is the fault of users who assume Apple is intentionally making bad decisions.

3. Thirty years ago the code base was smaller, so there were fewer problems because there weren’t as many chances that things could go wrong.

Calm down, it isn’t the end of the world. Tomorrow the sky will still be blue, the grass will still be green and the world will still be here. You would want others to forgive your mistakes, wouldn’t you? Why not extend that same forgiveness to others?
 
Anyone having issues with GPS since iOS 13? Can not get a signal at all in Maps or Waze, nothing seems to fix it... hoping this update will?
 
Cool, but Safari is still taking 12GB of space as unclearable "documents and data" after a failed SMB file-transfer in the Files app. Why Files and Safari are intimately connected somewhere somehow I don't know. But it's storage I'm apparently not ever getting back without formatting..

The files app is garbage btw :)
 
Nope, it’s still one big buggy mess.....

The auto correct on Apples keyboard has died a permanent death since iPad and iOS 13...
I don’t hold up much hope for iOS and iOS OS 13 ever working properly....but I get a pretty shadow around the cursor when I move it around the screen now :rolleyes:
it’s also a bit laggy on my iPad Pro 9.7”, thanks Apple. Plus it doesn’t want to auto capitalise anymore..........

sigh I remember those iOS 12 days.... where it just, worked.. I’d also like Apple,when I select to paste some text of a link you don’t decide to highlight a random line and then previous words in the line above... and then paste whatever it is into there!!

ios and iPad OS 13 are a pure utter joke of an OS made by the rise heat corporation on the planet with untold resources.. just like iOS 11...
 
For some people it's just never enough and there is no making them happy.
Cute.

So the fact that we're only at October 15th and the current release is 13.1.3 doesn't mean anything to you?

Do you know when 12.1.3 was released? January 22nd of this year.

It normally takes Apple months to go through this many iterations of any iOS version. They've been forced to fast track everything due to the exceptionally poor quality of this release.

People are right to complain, and should keep up the pressure. Apple's legendary software quality has steadily declined and this year is so bad that they've had to abandon long-standing schedules. As a developer myself, I can only imagine how toxic the culture is at Apple right now.
 
Nothing on the battery drain issue. Anyone seeing any improvements there?

We'll find out soon enough. It's rare that they mention battery drain stuff but sometimes they fix it in the background secretly. Funnily enough, in some instances, the battery drain fix might give others battery drain lol
 
I just hope they have fixed the "Reminders App".
It has been completely ruined for me.

I swear to God, one of the daily scheduled reminders set itself to 2119, instead of the next day. :mad:
Also, you've no idea how annoying it is to scroll the years by spinning in that stupid app to set the correct date.

Too bad there’s nothing on that list for Reminders. :mad:

I had a very important reminder scheduled for Sunday and I would have missed it if it weren’t for the fact that it (thankfully) displayed oh my MacBook (still haven’t updated to Catalina). The reminder doesn’t show up anywhere at all on my phone or iPad.
If you upgraded the reminders app on your phone, it won't sync if you created the reminder on your Mac. if you want your iPad and iPhone to sync, you should upgrade to Catalina.

you mean humans who take a working OS and then proceed to break almost every part of it and rush it out and release it as an update... yeah you can’t really defend this from Apple.. Cook and the board should be given pay cuts for this total mess of OS updates they’ve done.
