You do know that there may be multiple issues, and each affects different users in different scenarios?

Yeah I get it. 4 months in though and its still partially broken for many.

Anyone can say what they will. iOS 13 , while feature rich, was a complete mess. From the bizarre staggered rollout, to still missing features across devices (messages in the cloud on the Apple watch STILL MISSING) to all the silly bugs all over the place.

Every other year this happens.....iOS 14 will no doubt be a stability release. What Im hoping is that KEEP IT THAT WAY and slowly add features like they do iteratively on the iPhone.

Tons.

one big issue is mail claims an email arrived but when you open mail you have to refresh the mail feed for it to be downloaded from the server.

I seem to get this even with gmail app lately
