Overall iOS 13 is fine, but they've made Reminders almost unusable for me. Doesn't sync right all the time, app is often unresponsive to marking things complete.

I run into that every day across my iPhone 11 Max, iPad Pro, and series 5 Apple Watch.
 
Well for me it has been at least. I haven't used Apple Mail for a while on a regular basis. My everyday email client is Spark.
For those who have an iPad Pro 12” 3rd gen, try taking a screenshot while in Safari on a web page then, if the mini shot at the bottom left even appears, crop to a version you want to save to Photos. Then tap done and save to Photos. The version you will find in Photos will be the full screenshot not the cropped version. Then go take another screenshot, don’t touch it, just save to photos. Now go back to Photos and you will see the first screenshot has been converted to the cropped version you originally wanted. This is repeatable, seems to only affect the 3rd gen 12” and only when taking a screenshot on a Safari page. I’ve had others confirm this also.

Add that to various syncing issues, Safari, Reminders, Mail, or not syncing actually, and this is a mess. Some of these are seen on my iPhone 7, 11 Pro Max, and iPad Pro. Others are seen on specific devices but not the others like the screenshot issue.
 
It wasn't like this on iOS 12.
That was my point. I never had all this happen in 12. I have restarted every device, signed out of iCloud, toggled iCloud Settings multiple times on each device trying to correct some of this. It’s just been a waste of time. They screwed this up big time and I’m just going to wait until some future update comes to fix some of this. Before 13 I hadn’t had to sign out of iCloud in almost 2 years or more.
 
I’m not one to complain about their software and expect bugs in the early releases. Ios13 has been an absolute disaster for me...especially when it comes to photos. Even setting up as a new iPhone didn’t fix it for me.

I think the fact that they are already on iOS 13.1.2 (and guessing 13.1.3 before the weekend) speaks volumes to what Apple thinks of this current release.
 
Serving as a beta tester after you fork over $1000 for a new phone.

Just lol.
Are you being asked to go through particular scenarios, provide logs and and other details, fill out surveys or anything like that?
 
I was being sarcastic. It implies that we as the customers, who fork over a lot of money for these devices, are essentially being used as beta testers for buggy software, which is absurd.
As in the reality that has been around for a long time with computers and even all kinds of things even before computers?

I think the fact we haven’t seen the “Apple stops signing iOS 12.4.1” post yet speaks volumes about Apple’s confidence in iOS 13 at the moment.

Edit: Apple has stopped signing 12.4.1 :)

Can people post some examples of these crazy bugs they're having? I have had iOS 13 on my iPhone and iPad since day one (even ran the Beta for most of the time) and I have not noticed any groundbreaking bugs like some people seem to be implying. 🧐

The biggest issue I’m having right now is that notes are not syncing, or will sync very slowly between iOS and iPadOS.

Apple usually leaves the previous version signed for some time after major new versions are released.

Seems to be ~ a month. Guessing they will stop signing 12.4.1 and 12.4.2 in the second half of next week. I agree that there are no conclusions to be drawn at this point.
 
I think what a lot of people are failing to consider with all this "Apple has gone downhill" and "Steve would be rolling in his grave" comments is that OS code gets bigger every year and the more features that are added, the more bugs you're going to encounter. I don't think it's fair that people whine incessantly with the "Why can't iPhone xx or yy?! Android has done it for years!" and then whine incessantly about bugs that are introduced when new features are added.

I'm in agreement with those that say major updates should be taken off the annual cycle and tested extensively until they're ready for primetime. I'm frustrated right along with those that are having irritating or even show-stopping bugs even if I'm not one of them.

Reminders app. I have multiple reminders that recur daily, weekly, monthly, etc. One pops up and I complete the task and tap on the circle to mark it as completed. App freezes for 30-60 seconds or so. The task may disappear as completed. Or it might just revert back to incomplete. Oftentimes when it reverts, you can't tap the circle again. It simply won't respond. You have to force quit for the app to be usable again.

This is of course in addition to the things Apple did on purpose such as breaking iCloud syncing of Reminders between devices, breaking syncing and sharing of Reminders lists between people using iOS 13 and iOS 12, making "upgrading" to the new Reminders an irreversible process so you can't go back to the old version even if you tried.

It's so bad, I've switched to a new Reminders app until they fix it, possibly permanently: Microsoft To Do. It's their new app that has basically incorporated the functionality of Wunderlist that they acquired and is the closest thing in terms of look, feel, and operation to what Apple's Reminders app is supposed to do. If you knew me you know I'd avoid an MS product any time I possible can, but this is just too bad to keep fighting with. I need a reminders app that works.

IOS Mail App indicates mail is in a folder but the mail is not there when I go to the folder. I use Outlook on my iPad pro and the same thing happens there. Sometimes I have to close and reopen the app to get it to receive the mail.

IOS Phone App has frozen several times requiring me to shoot down the phone and restart.

CarPlay is still buggy for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Unplug and replug sometimes helps. Rebooting does nothing. Unpairing and repairing doesn't help either.

Not sure why this isn't affecting everyone. Maybe a silent update from GM will fix it.

I had the exact same issue. It has something to do with how Carplay is interacting with the Pro and Max Pro USB Connection. Get a USB C Female to USB Male adaptor and plug in through that in your car using Apple's supplied USB C cable (or any USB C cable) and it will fix the problem immediately.

The Messages app doesn't automatically default to SMS anymore when an iMessage can't be sent. This is not merely an inoffensive glitch, but a complete break of one of the most appealing features of the iPhone.
