So the fact that we're only at October 15th and the current release is 13.1.3 doesn't mean anything to you?
Do you know when 12.1.3 was released? January 22nd of this year.
It normally takes Apple months to go through this many iterations of any iOS version. They've been forced to fast track everything due to the exceptionally poor quality of this release.
People are right to complain, and should keep up the pressure. Apple's legendary software quality has steadily declined and this year is so bad that they've had to abandon long-standing schedules. As a developer myself, I can only imagine how toxic the culture is at Apple right now.
Edit: It MAY be fixed!
Edit 2: nope it’s not fixed.
Was it time for 13.1?
Was it time for 13.1.1?
Was it time for 13.1.2?
I don't think this is the mail fix we have been waiting for...
