Reality is there is no large tech company without faults. I’d rather have issues like this than hardware issues that cannot be repaired. Software bugs are very difficult to narrow down as many devices in different states, various running apps etc. Also serious security issues are addressed to all devices, even ones well past the usual cycle. I am happy that Apple sees it wisdom to apply fixes quickly and responsibly.
Isn't there a new setting in Cellular I think, that you can set to allow downloads over 200MB now over cell? Maybe that was just for apps tho? Try setting that and see if it helps.
Just another validation that early public releases of new operating systems actually are betas
Some people don't have large data plans and could unsuspectingly put themselves in a overage position.
Or
the OTA data stream is prone to latency or packet loss.
I hadn't thought about that angle, but it would definitely happen. But an override should be available for the desperate who want to do it anyways. Course that's a nice to have which is far down the line of things to fix at this point. Good to see we're getting our first minor fix update.
- I'm set for manual software updates and was choosing to try and install the update.
- You can download apps and app updates that are well over 100MB in size.
I think that just might be for apps. I can't find it.
Agreed but I was trying to perform a manual update where I was choosing to download the data.
Yeah I had that on every single iDevice I own. The only way to get rid of it and fix it was to sign out of iCloud and sign back in. #HASSLE
But why didn’t they wait for two weeks and release the ready product before annoying anybody?
Most likely because of the new iPhone release. It would have been strange to have last year's iOS version on it.
I turned off signature display so don't see any signatures at all from anyone. I do it on every forum I subscribe to; luckily most have this option.
Back on topic ... this update won't show if you have the beta profile installed. As I don't have any of the issues this is meant to fix, and I do have issues that aren't listed (Mail, mainly), I'll just wait with my beta profile for 13.2.
I've thought of this. I think the issue was they had the 11 and new iPad ready to ship and start selling on a certain date and iOS 13 just wasn't ready. They had to get something out so that the new 11s were supported.
Either way, 13.1.1 is showing as an OTA update but not through iTunes.
This whole “beta testing” process leaves a lot to be desired....
Definitely shouldn’t be major bugs and 3 releases in a 14 day time period
Couldn’t they limit IOS13 to the new devices only and release this to the rest of us when it’s ready?
