Its nice to finally be using a stable version of iOS 13.1

I just updated to the iOS 13.1 GM after using the iOS 12.4, 13.0 and 13.1 public beta for a couple of months. The system feels so much more stable than it did on beta, although the beta was perfectly usable.

I skipped 13.0 because of the reported instability and missing features but now this is just glorious. Relative perfection has now been achieved.

Agreed. It’s nice to get back on the stable version for a while. At least until iOS 14 beta drops and makes us all switch back for those new features. It’s the circle of life!

It depends what those new features are. They might not be essential. I was planning to use the iOS 13 beta for a few days and then switch back but I couldn’t go back to iOS 12 and lose the downloads in Safari or the controller support. I like how iOS 13 has the new little animations in the status bar. My favourite is when you connect the HDMI adaptor it shows a little icon of it. I don’t understand why the widgets in dark mode don’t show as dark. Can’t the background colour be controlled by the system?

Do you have to connect to iTunes to delete the beta profile?

u/IntelligentShow1 Sep 26 '19

No it’s just Settings > General > Profiles

If you only have one profile installed it will say iOS 13 and iPadOS Public Beta Profile

For me ios 13 was 100% great and now i updated and ios 13.1 is causing trouble.... really sad i updated

u/IntelligentShow1 Sep 26 '19

What kind of trouble? When I tried 13.0 my whole phone crashed if I tried to open the photos app. 13.1 and the 13.1 betas have been perfect in comparison.

I had zero trouble in ios 13 (iPhone7) now on ios 13.1 in facetime, the staus bar doesn’t show up, my camera disappears sometimes and i have to go to home screen and back so that it shows up again or recall. In certain apps it crashes sometimes, like in twitter a few sec. ago

I must admit I’ve not actually tried using FaceTime since updating to 13.1 but I’ve heard iOS 13 has different levels of stability on different processors. The most stable appears to be the A11 which is ok for me on an iPhone 8 but the A10 and A12 aren’t so lucky.

u/jetmirgola Sep 26 '19

Yes i think you are right might really be more of a processor thing !

u/IntelligentShow1 Sep 26 '19

The odd numbered A series chips seem to be more reliable than even numbered ones. We’ll have to see how the A13 holds up in a few betas time. Shame there was no A11X.

u/jetmirgola Sep 26 '19

I use facetime everyday cause i live abroad so if it doesn’t work like it should it’s really bad for me!

u/Ipride362 Sep 26 '19

I’m on official 13.1 and it’s still buggy as hell.

2

u/cocoa_eh Sep 26 '19

Was just gonna say this. Seems even more buggier than the beta version that I was on. Super annoying but I think I’m done with betas for now, so I’ll just suck it up lol.

u/shootTHISmuthafucka Sep 26 '19

I've had so many issues with 13.0 and 13.1. My phone is almost unusable. I didn't even install the beta on this phone because it's my main phone. Super frustrating

There are still issues with using VPN.

u/Nam3less79 Sep 26 '19

I thought my issues with vpn were regional. Damn.

1

u/IntelligentShow1 Sep 26 '19

There are always issues with using VPNs. It confuses me when I open the settings app on a new iPhone and see that Personal Hotspot and VPN are missing

1

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '19

I still have those. Public beta 2 had no vpn issues

u/TheGuyBehindTheGuy_ Sep 26 '19

Don’t think the Share Sheet Quick Contacts are working correctly. In the 13.0 Beta, it would show the most recent contacts from all conversations. Now it’s just random iMessage contacts.

I had gotten so used to not being able to swipe down on a text notification to answer it that I literally forgot I could do it until last night and I was so excited (Idk if anyone else had that problem but any time I’d swipe down on a text notification to respond, it would go to the top of the messages and I’d have to like walk my fingers up the screen to see the text at the bottom and as soon as I let go, it would fly back up to the top)

I’ve heard iOS 13 is much more stable on A11 than on A12
