Apple Releases iOS and iPadOS 13.2.2 With Fix for Background Refresh Bug

Possibly. Also possible that mobile carriers still want that restriction in place nonetheless (and/or Apple might have some of their own reasoning for it).
They did, as to why it wasn’t fixed before release, well, you’ll have to ask Apple.
Feels like all I do now is download updates. Hopefully this one doesn’t brick my device after a reset.
As punishment for trusting Apple and eagerly installing 13.2, Apple now sentences you to endure another round of the endless “verifying update” progress bar and then suffer through the glacially slow Apple logo update progress bar. Further complaints about bugs not fixed in this update will be met with more of the same.
Safari *actually* does feel snappier with this update. I’m not even making a joke, I’m completely serious. Everything does actually.
C'mon now, buddy...
Windows 10 October 2018 Update is deleting user data — here's how to protect yourself
Microsoft's latest version of Windows 10 appears to be wiping out users' data. If you're planning to upgrade, remember to create a full backup before proceeding. Just in case.

Traditionally Apple has generally done a rather good job of releasing stable, polished software, and has produced some especially reliable software after major releases have been ironed out, but this does seem to have gone downhill over several years past. And this last round of updates has been a particular mess of bugs. Apple is doing something wrong. That said, there is a difference between quick patches to address major issues and planned, major updates. It would be a terrible mistake for Apple to wait for a monthly schedule to correct a regression of this sort.
I would strongly prefer that Apple slow the &@*! down and focus a lot more on stability and ironing out bugs (including some old, neglected bugs; including making it easier for engineers to find time to fix bugs), mostly because stability and dependability are/were my personal primary reasons for investing in the Apple ecosystem, but bugs are a regular part of complex programs like operating systems. Or, indeed, any large application.
It's definitely one of my biggest beefs about using Windows for work. They have lightened up a bit on the update hammer, but it is terrifying to hear about stuff like data loss counting down to forced installation on your machine. And the enterprise version is not available to most/many.
I’m impressed. They took it seriously. I didn’t expect anything before iOS 13.3
Notifications are working on my three Apple watches (3, 4 and 5).

Still populated here.
Any success? If I have more than one device connected to my iPhone 11 Pro they randomly disconnect. Haven’t tried it on this update yet.
Oh thank a God! it was driving me nuts, and some on here were attempting to claim it was a new ‘feature’... apologising at its best.
It appears that the bug fix team is better than the feature release team. To me, that sounds like core engineering doesn't understand how the product works anymore, and DTS/Level 3 (or whatever DTS is now) catches the problem and fixes it.
That sounds like a symptom of the general decline of the developer docs. The other day I went looking for the speech synthesis API, and there was basically nothing there. It's ridiculous. It sounds like the internal team has the same issues.
I mean, you would think that the watchdog of all things would be documented. But someone went ahead and made a breaking change.

Frankly I’m amazed anyone with a straight face could claim that atrocity as a feature, and I’m a serious wind-up merchant.
Killing multi-tasking on a device - iPad Pro - which Apple are pushing as a laptop replacement. A feature? Really?
Just kick off the update before you do some activity that doesn't require your phone, like preparing a meal, laundry, taking a shower, etc.... it'll likely be done before you get back to it.
HmmUpdated. Now my AirPods won’t connect via Bluetooth. Saying:
Connection Unsuccessful Make sure “Airpods” are turned on and in range.
They are turned on, in range and are recognised by my iPhone 11 Max Pro. Damn.
Updated. Now my AirPods won’t connect via Bluetooth. Saying:I had to restart for it to recognize my HomePod. Fortunately it didn’t brick anything.
