I did the betas (started at beta 4) on both my XS Max and iPad Pro 10.5. I understood it was beta and so any issues (and I didn’t have any major issues) I had I reported. Off the beta and iOS running quite smoothly on my XS Max and new iPad Pro 11. No complaints! Even in the things we think we have absolute control, we still fail sometimes. Now, I have no control over the phones I buy (each one is assembled individually) and software (someone writes the code) - other than the money I spend - which is an insignificant part of my life. There are more worthy things to deserve my anger!
Only because, they were forced. No one would willingly upgrade. Every iOS is worse then iOS 6. Green felt and skeuomorphism!
Actually Apple has more of the profits! Android can have the majority market share.
Minor problems with iOS 13 which were fixed in 13.1 for me and my friends as well. No problems at all with iPadOS 13 (been testing it since first public beta). On the other hand, tvOS broke my Beamer app (it won't play the file until I run it at least 50 times in a row and app controls don't work) and they weren't able to come up with fix yet which is little frustrating.
Let’s see, 900 million divided by 2, so 450 million active iPhones on iOS13. Now we have some real numbers, how many people out of 450 million do you think are actually on public beta? a very generous guess would be 3-4 million. So literally a drop in the ocean. Not all users are on this site daily, man.
Again, there’s tons of apps that do the same thing, they existed for the longest. I’m not even going to continue to entertain you anymore. Have a better day honey.
uh... but remember they killed planned obsolescence last OS?
I mean, consider this position: “With iOS 12 Apple LOCKED the 5s, 6, and 6s to terrible horrible slooower and worse then iOS 11! It was a new scheme and plot to force them to think their hardware can’t perform anymore.”
That doesn't exactly ring true now does it? Or do you want to argue that iOS 12 slowed down devices. why stick those old devices with a fast OS?
I suspect that these updates were involuntarily installed due to Apple's heavy handed popups and demands that you install the update. Really, I have automatic downloads turned off, yet my 8 still downloads the update and nags me to install it.

The only proof is the android app is second rate compared to apple’s method. But do you have a citation the hardware between models is identical?
Yeah, but it's not really off as the update will still download and you will be hawked to death to install it until one bleary day you accidentally click on "install tonight" and then you are screwed.
this does not work. update still downloads and nags you even after turning this off.
And if the vendor one day decides to stop releasing updates for your phone because there are too many other newer phones that need updates, you can start kissing goodbye to your phone, unless you have the time to play the Homebrew game.
Love watching how people are still getting frothed up along with a case of the shakes about updates and percentages! Such drama over mice nuts.
And I love watching the pointless comments of those who actually go into the forum and read the posts, and because they can't come up with anything to say, pretend they don't care by posting the above.
Pretend? No, I'm serious! It really is funny. Sorry.
Please upload a video of your iPhone behaving this way. I know bs when I see it. Thank you.
They did hand out 5 downgrades already (13.0, 13.1, 13.1.1, 13.1.2, 13.1.3). I am not a power user but I do heavily rely on my iPhone for Exchange email and it is still JACKED UP with 13.1.3. I have since moved to the Outlook app because Microsoft knows mail.
I have been on the iPhone since my 3G and this so far is the most buggy iOS they have released. Apple quality is going down....down....down. After I purchased my 2017 15inch MBP, I am done with Laptops from Apple. I should have bought the 2015 version in 2017 to replace my 2012 MBP while they still sold it....my $3000 mistake.
Do you actually use the iOS mail app? My list of issues with the mail up is too long to type out. Try addressing an iMessage, as you type you will see the cached recipients popup to try and help you. That list can grow quite long and group recipients tend to pop up quick. In iOS 12 you could swipe those out of the cache because it was kind of annoying after this list built up. That feature is either broken...or gone even on 13.1.3
Mail and iMessage are the two apps I use the most and they are buggy as heck.
