Do we really know if it comes with iOS 12 and have to update it to iOS 13 when we get it?
 
It will definitely ship with iOS 13, and it sounds like 13.1 will be available shortly after release (I've heard Sept. 30th) to enable more features.

what he said, ships with 13.0 will get 13.1 when its avail to the ipad's (as far as I know)
 
Last year it did not. When I hooked in up to iTunes it stated that an update to the latest ios was available. I would be it will not have 13 installed.

On launch my iPhone came with iOS 12 iPhones always come with the latest version, Maybe there was an update depends when you got it I got mine on day of release the same as this year and it came with iOS 12 last year, there may have been a carrier update depending on who your carrier was or a patch quite quickly after 12 was released but I can’t remember tbh

You must be confusing with something else. Every new iPhone comes with the new major version of iOS. The previous version never supports the new iPhone models. It’s basically impossible to have the iPhone 11 (Pro) with iOS 12 as there is not ipsw for the new models.

You're probably talking about iOS 12.0.1.

The phones shipped with iOS 12.0.
