Lol whiny and entitled. It would be whiny and entitled if Apple devices were free. As it stands, they are the most expensive devices in the world and that price is based on getting the best hardware and OS experience out there.
And please enlighten me on what massive new features were introduced in iOS13. Dark Mode? Swipe Keyboard? iOS hasn’t seen a major upgrade in years. Each year is mainly a refinement or improvement on the previous years OS with some small new features thrown in. They effectively broke many features that worked fine in iOS12 and have been throwing out update and after update attempting to fix these things but seemingly can’t.
Are you seriously asking me the exact same question that I just answered earlier today, a few posts above?
Though if you want a more in-depth look, you can read this article further here.
Following years of a judicious union between platforms, it’s time for iPad to embark on its own journey.

No one is saying Apple is making the wrong call with all of these updates. What is being said is that there shouldn’t have to be THIS many updates all centered around bug fixes. It’s ridiculous that this is the 4th update in a month and mail is just now finally being addressed. Mail? Are you kidding me? How can Microsoft and other third party apps have great email solutions that work great with iOS13, but Apple can’t get their own Mail app working correctly with the OS. Calendar invite big fixes on the 4th update of the month? Apple can’t get something as simple as calendar invites working correctly with their own OS? Multiple pictures is messages can’t be deleted? It’s their own messaging app and it worked fine in iOS 12 but they broke it in 13. I guess the “amazing” swipe keyboard is to blame lol.
Apple is basically pushing out updates and bug fixes out as quickly as they can fix them. The other option is that Apple sandbags and releases one larger patch addressing more issues at one go (but the downside is that you have to wait longer in between, and put up with those bugs that much longer).
Alternatively, you can choose not to update if you somehow have an issue with Apple’s pace of updates and wait till iOS 13.2. It’s pretty much the same thing.
I think Apple doesn’t get enough credit for the control they have over their ecosystem which allows them to push through updates as frequently as they do, compared to android where patches are few and far in between, assuming they even come at all.
This is precisely what I love about being in the Apple ecosystem and I will happily continue to install as many updates as Apple puts out
Where is the line between allowing Apple to release an OS that is riddled with bugs and just being a blind fanboy that accepts whatever Apple throws at you? That’s a question you need to ask if you want to ask me the question you asked me at the start of your paragraphs.
I don’t see why Apple needs your permission or mine to be allowed to do anything they do.
Yeah, there are bugs. Which Apple will (eventually) fix. Just like there are bugs with pretty much any app or software that I use these days. Windows continues to be patched on a weekly basis.
Like I said in my earlier post - and life goes on.
I don’t think “Apple needs to ensure that their software has absolutely zero bugs before releasing them” is a valid or realistic counterpoint, unless you never expect Apple to release any more software ever again. It allows the critics to take the high road, by claiming they are forcing Apple to be better by holding them up to impossible standards and unattainable goals.
But that’s just it. Talk is cheap, and it’s easy to point fingers and tell someone else to do their job when doing so doesn’t require any effort on our ends, while making us feel like we have made a huge difference in the world.
Honestly, if I were Apple, I would just wave my hand and go “whatever”, but that’s just me. As far as I am concerned and as far as I can see, yes, mistakes were made, and Apple is now doing the best they can to fix those mistakes, and if it means the good folks at Cupertino can sleep soundly at night knowing they have put in an honest day’s work, that’s good enough for me.
The fixes will come out when they come out, I doubt bloviating here is really going to accomplish anything beyond venting (again, you all did submit your bug reports to Apple, right?) and if it means having to live with a particular bug for a couple more extra days...
Then so be it.
