iOS 13 bugs... What is the beta testing for then???
Unfortunately I let the auto update do it’s thing for IOS 13 yesterday (please no chastising, I’m not a phone guru and I’ve always been told to perform updates for security).
I rely on my phone for email mostly. This update is beyond buggy - it’s total garbage. I look at the phone and see no mail badges but I have dozens of emails when I open the mail app. When I open the phone and enter numbers, it’s 2-3 seconds before it starts showing the numbers I’m dialing then it misses a few digits in between.
I don’t want a lecture about the fact I updated, yes, now that I search about issues, I see people saying not to. But... What is all this talk about beta testing a new IOS for MONTHS prior to release? Do these testers not use email or the phone? I find that to be a basic function of a cell phone. What’s the purpose of releasing IOS 13 and announcing immediately that the fix will be released next week? Months of testing didn’t show any issues and within hours of release you have fixes?
I’ve always been an Apple person even though I don’t have anything beyond the iPhone but this is crazy.
Android is looking better at every update......
It sucks that you’re having issues but I updated my 7 and I don’t have any of the issues your are having. I’m using my phone as I normally do and have discovered no bugs as of yet.

Yeah I agree here! In fact I couldn’t wait to get out of iOS 12.1.4. I thought that software version was very buggy, but 13 seems to be pretty smooth as far as I can see. No issues yet.
Apparently there is a 13.1 update coming on the 24th. Supposedly fixes many bugs. I guess the pressure was on to have iOS 13 ready for the new hardware.
What iPhone do you have?
Just curious as I delayed updating on my iPhone SE.
XR 128g
This has been a total disaster for me. I'm switching to Android later today when Best Buy opens. I can't believe that months of testing and releasing this disaster will be fixed in 13.1 being released one week later.

Every major OS release (even on my Pixel) is buggy AF until a supplemental update is put out.
Just wait for 13.1 tomorrow, and you'll be fine. AND, on iOS it's been a kind of known thing to just wait for the x.1 release a few weeks later for them to get some bugs worked out.
I'm on 13.1 beta right now, and I've had almost no issues on my XS Max, the issues i've had were very small things like the signal and WiFi indicators staying landscape when I exit a game... nothing else.
I have an iPhone Xr and have been running the Beta since it was released to the general public almost a month ago. I've updated to 13.1 and have had no issues with any version.

You are one of the few. We have about 60 staff in our office and about 20 updated last week. All 20 are having issues from bluetooth not connecting to some speakers/vehicles, no service until reboot, no email badges, etc. Very frustrating. I find it hard to believe that all that beta testing released this to what FOX news quotes as "Millions of users" having issues. I called our local Apple store Saturday around noon and they had no appointments available into the 'near future' and advised to call back after Tuesday's release to schedule.
Nothing major on my Xs or new 11 Pro. Been running iOS 13 since the GM was released and available to install. I do not use Apple’s mail client, I use Edison Mail.

Apple has to rely on users reporting the bugs via a feedback form in a feedback app. Also the users that beta test are more geeky and may not represent a cross-section of the population.
Hiring professional testers is expensive and then there are still some bugs after extensive testing. Today software companies are more likely to rely on users testing since it is hard to get perfect code anyway and users work for free.
Even NASA gets a couple bugs in their spaceship software. Someday testing will be all automated with computers checking the code. There is a lot of this today already but we might need AI to identify bug prone patterns.
I personally wish Apple (and Microsoft) would return to the old school in-house testing.
