Why not hold 13.1 and just wait for 13.2 and release that when it's ready?

That could be said about a lot of x.1 releases, while it didn't prevent x.0 being released.
Got a tip for us?

Well, in that case, just scrap the entire iOS13 and let's just wait until iOS14. Problem solved.
I want to buy the new Watch Series 5, but that will require iOS13 on my phone, and I’m waiting until at least 13.1 before I update from iOS12, so I guess the watch will have to wait a month...
Why did they offer 13.1 to the public if it's not compatible with iCloud on release day? I know it's beta, but still... broken is broken.
Also, any mention of a release date for Catalina? Did I miss that during the keynote today?
I'm sure that will be more than 11 days after 13.1.
There is nothing wrong with pushing back a release date a bit if it means your product will more reliable. We are talking less than two weeks here. Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but I'd rather wait a bit to even have a marginally more stable product.
Because they moved some features planned for 13.0 that couldn't get done in time and pushed them out to 13.1 instead.
Not during the keynote (unless it was during one of the many times my stream froze), but there's an article here saying mid October.
I wouldn't be surprised if it is called HomeOS as the HomePod is supposed to be a smart hub of some sort.
Dang, I'll be in Europe when this drops which admittedly shouldn't be an issue. I just need to remember the timing.
It should be now, or there’s going to be a nightmare to release apps on time.
Xcode 11 is still in Beta.
And what about macOS Catalina? Not a word was said about it.
A new beta may come out either later today or tomorrow (based on the frequency of previous releases).
Apple has been late on soft- and hardware for years.
I'd say since Tim Cook took over, but then people will be bitching at me again. So I better don't.
Oops
Except that there is a GM that was released today and it's not the same build as 13.0 beta 8.
To be fair, you also called it that 13.0 won't be released and it will be 13.1 instead.
How do you downgrade from 13.1 to 13.0 in order to restore from an iCloud Backup?
How do you downgrade from 13.1 to 13.0 so that you can restore from an iCloud backup?
Probably not. Not sure that says too much one way or another, and can even imply in some sense that 13.1 might not be as stable as it could be if more time was spent on it like in previous years.
If a person is on 13.1 right now, is it better to downgrade to 13 (and if so, how do you do that?) before getting a new phone or is it better to just wait for a new phone, enroll it in the pb 13 and upgrade it to 13.1, then restore from a back up? This is such a cluster@#$%
Which turned out be right for iPad.
And although I was wrong about that for iPhone, you can tell that it is being done begrudgingly. Instead of releasing 13.0 proudly for all early in the week, they are waiting until the day before the new iPhones ship, and pushing it out of pure necessity. Then fast tracking 13.1 to be released an unprecedented 11 days later.
I was wrong about one point, and I was wrong because I gave Apple the benefit of the doubt that they wouldn't do something this stupid. I was wrong.
There was no necessity to ship 13.0 on older iPhones. They’re not shipping watchOS 6.0 on older Watch series either.
And it's not shipping for iPad, is it? The only reason it is shipping for iPhone is because of the new iPhones launching. It is clear it wouldn't have shipped otherwise. Wrong on that detail, sure. But the overall situation is still what I described.
You sound like some project managers and directors I’ve worked with
