That has not been the case for so long. Just like you can buy a chocolate bar for 10 cents at your corner store.

This came out two days ago and addresses the widget issue IIRC.
Talk about a rollercoaster…
But in all seriousness. Why would you need to upgrade? I had the iPhone 3S, 4, 6S and 11. Probably upgrading again when the 15 or 16 arrives. Same with my Macs: still running the 2014 MacBook Pro, and about to upgrade to the M1X.
When you upgrade only once in while, the difference is amazing. It’s like Christmas. Upgrading each year feels like a waste of money. But to each his own. Also: gotta make the stock owners happy.
Don’t know if bugs are more prevalent now. Each OS becomes more complex and bloated though.
There was a rumor a month or so back that was indeed what they were doing. Not sure if that is related to this, but it's a fair assumption.
Because during that period, the focus was catching predators….
Okay buy an Android phone then and enjoy one complimentary software update.
Hey, LG: How’s that ‘Software Upgrade Center’ going?
LG promised big things with the launch of its "Software Upgrade Center" in April. Seven months later, it's time to check in — and hold the company accountable.

This one is broken for me too. The weird thing to me is, while I love the iOS 15 update, I don't really use too many features, certainly not very many "advanced" features. Yet, I've encountered 5-6 bugs since upgrading. Because I don't really use my phone for too much, I used to never encounter bugs. But now 5-6 in one week including this.
And on my iPad, there is now widget support, but my first Home Screen page has to be filled up with widgets or icons or it will take as many icons and widgets from the second page to fill up the first page. Rearranging icons on both iOS and iPad os is sometimes a nightmare because the icon will jump back to the previous page, sometimes shifting icons over to the next page and breaking your arrangement of icons.
Like, it was one thing when in MacOS I don't bother to use Launchpad because it is a nuisance (just try to arrange the icons sometime), but now it is getting to the point where it is hard to arrange the Home Screen. Don't get me wrong, I love the Home Screen on iOS and iPad. But good grief, it is so difficult to arrange things sometimes and tedious to put things back in place after you move one millimeter too much to an edge.

Love watch unlock with masks - had been working great on my 12 Pro Max.
My only issue: why doesn’t it work for unlocking _apps_ too? If I go into the office (which I don’t do much) I have to wear a mask… which is fine other than the huge inconvenience of 1Password not opening automatically on my phone…
Is there a setting for this I missed somewhere?

This isn't just with Apple. It is just the Agile software development these days. I was the same with you. But like I said, its not just Apple. I am no longer looking forward to the newest Windows feature updates or Windows 11. Or newest Visual Studio. Or newest Adobe programs. I have been through bad upgrades after bad upgrades after bad upgrades long enough where I no longer look forward to always being on the latest.
Are you saying working from home is the cause for this? Because Apple (and Microsoft and Adobe and many others) have been suffering for years lately on these regular updates.
Not everyone has the issue. Not all bugs show up in small scale testing. Sometimes bugs show themselves only after millions of people start utilizing a new product. Unless you know something I don’t know and millions of users were able to test the 13 for the past 5 months?
As a software developer, I don’t really understand how this bug wasn’t caught. It affects everyone, no? I can understand bugs that get through that affect a percentage of the user base — but how was this not caught? Certainly there wasn’t a last minute untested change that they just lobbed out the day before. This is odd to me. The widget issue too… but I don’t think that affected everyone.
It only affects people who are upgrading from an old phone to a new phone. And it’s not clear whether that includes all such people or only a lot of us. For whatever reason, they missed whatever this scenario is.
There are many users on the forums without this problem, and it is widely known that the ones affected are much more likely to report.
When apple was pushing for a return to office, many of the employees cited how productive they were and how much work they got done while working at home as reason to continue being allowed to work from home. Clearly with all of the bugs in the software, they weren't as productive as they claim.
I'm not arguing they haven't been suffering, but Apple seems to have gotten worse lately with this (Microsoft and Adobe have been terrible in this regard for a long time).
Life goes on. Except for the aggrieved needing to vent their pent up outrage.
masks are not required anymore, so why bother fixing this temporary fix.
