No, that’s the way Apple made the market. Nobody ever released new smartphones or computers yearly until apple started doing so. Now everyone else does it too because they have to compete with Apple.
Either way in 2019 there seems to be a yearly release with consumer electronics. And it’s the chicken and egg thing.
Not that it's any consolation, but David Shayer, a former Apple software engineer, wrote a revealing op-ed that explains why OS upgrades can be so buggy, and why some bugs are never addressed...

Safe? If you’re asking, then you’re not serious about upgrading. Clearly other reports in this very thread have stated the transition for the update was successful.
It would be nice if the Apple keyboard had searchable emojis like the Google Keyboard does
The idea is you don't need to search, but you type normally and pick them from the suggestions in predictive text. I think predictive text recognizes when it's appropriate to suggest and use emojis, like in a chat app versus word processing.
No, sorry - Apple had to focus developer ressources on this release in order to deliver the important 230 new emoji’s.
The thinking seems to be: Stop using Exchange then! Or if you have managed living with it this far, you probably can for another few months.
The emoji suggestions only seem to work in some apps, not all.

HOW did you get an iPhone 13 Pro??? Time Traveler? 😲
Great article find! This article confirmed some of my concerns and raised other concerns I hoped that wasn't true. The huge reliance on manual testing is disturbing.

The perception appears that Apple is letting its native mail app atrophy and pushing its end-users to 3rd party mail apps. I haven't use the app since iOS 11 when it went south on me.
Not at all, stay on 12.
Make sure you turn off the auto update toggle. I disabled for all of my Apple devices. Yesterday was a bad day for software updates.
Yeah I know. It was said in jest. Kind of like "we can put a man on the moon, but can't fix xyz..."
I had this issue before 13.2 and hoped it would be fixed in this release, but sadly not.
My hunch is that many beta testers aren't reporting bugs. Participating app developers are motivated to; however, I bet that a lot of customer beta installers are just impatient fans who want the latest OS and don't provide robust feedback.
It's not necessary, analytics does the job.
Automated test works ok when programming an app, but is very difficult to test things like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, especially in real-world conditions. How would you test dropouts from AirPods in weak signal conditions? What about stuff like shutdowns on worn batteries? You'd have to automate wearing down a battery.
That's why analytics work better, they're in effect automated test in real-world conditions. If you look at Apple's analytics, they certainly are collecting a huge amount of data. I suspect that Apple simply doesn't know how to deal with it. Google has always been better in big data since their core has been search.
Solved this one in the end. I removed the AirPods from Bluetooth settings and iCloud and completely setup from new. Fingers crossed seem ok now.
