It felt a titch quicker on my 7 but my widgets were glitchy and didn’t work even after multiple reboots or would work for a little and quit.
I also didn’t like how Siri talked more when using my air pods pro while running. And a message bubble kept popping up saying they were connected everytime I would wake the screen. And every time I used hey Siri with the AirPods it would wake the screen on the iPhone while running and it doesn’t do that on iOS 13.
And my phone was super warm after being plugged in all night and I don’t have much data on my phone so that freaked me out. I know it wasn’t “indexing” all night because that isn’t a thing unless you GB’s and GB’s of data for your phone to go though. So I went back to 13.7 and I think this may be the pinnacle of iOS for my 7. It just works almost perfectly all the time. I’ll wait till around Christmas to see if 14 is better.
I am not sure I would consider myself the typical iPhone user these days. I've been using the iPhone since 2010 when Verizon first got it. I've through that time played around with all the different things, playing games, randomly installing and removing apps, playing with Siri, etc..
Now: my typical uses are A phone, (calls, texts, etc) Managing banking and transportation, maybe some health related things, and a little bit of music. I typically don't keep a lot of data on my phones, just because most of what i need can be securely accessed from the cloud. As far as Siri, I prefer Alexa, amazon just offers more as a smart platform. So
My choices there would be:
Alexa
Google Assistant
Siri
My initial reason for getting an iPhone back in 2010 was simply to get the accessibility features I was used to on the Mac for a phone. Flip phones don't offer much in that area. As it turns out within time, Smart features grew on me, so I do use it for more than just a phone. I really like some of apple's changes, but what would matter more to me personally is technology that would actually benefit people such as a vehicle that would help people totally blind, or with enough vision loss unable to get a regular driver's license be able to be more independent without having to always depend on other people.
