Well, to your point about doing it "much earlier", no. They still had to finalize the design and construction prototyping of the phone and set up the lines.
No one knows why they force a 13.1 with automations or shared ETA. I could‘ve lived without them for a month or two but it seems like Apple thinks otherwise and wants the features out aa fast as possible.
They have a patent for that though (don‘t think it‘s more than a patent though). Some kind of ultra low power mode with a fuse that gets blown after the device got activated to download a new build. Can‘t find that article anymore though, would love to read it again cause I think it‘s something worth to push R&D money into if possible.
Oh, no doubt. That and through the air charging are probably big developments just over the horizon. But my understanding (and I know you are not disagreeing) is that the phones now are flashed just before they get packaged/palleted and loaded onto planes. I'd love to watch this in action.
Not at all. I think it's pretty insulting that you're insinuating that I was though.

There have been releases with features added it that are MUCH more significant than those, like Apple Pay, that were not rushed for day 1 release. Automations & Shared ETA are not worthy of a rushed release in anyones book, and thank you for backing me up on that, so it just confirms there's no logic for this being rushed for Day 1 due to those features.
Yeah they probably still get flashed the „old way“. I‘d love for some form of in-package wireless flashing of devices though, opens up a lot of new possibilities for future updates... like entirely eliminate day 1 updates.
I am just going to say this: it is amazing the contortions some on here will twist themselves into to deny even the possibility that Apple will release 13.1 after the iPhone launch. I honestly am baffled by the emotions surrounding this.
I could point out that your post I’m quoting is a poor attempt at a veiled insult, as it’s obvious you’re making a dig at me. No getting emotional here, my friend. Are you projecting yours?

I think it's usually the Wednesday, so the 18th (or is its the Tuesday, so then the 17th, damn I'm forgetting).
Ahh, I am going mad and was wrong, thanks!
Potentially in an hour or so, or perhaps tomorrow. Of course, there's always the possibility it might be even later than that (for whatever reason).
With settings lockup you mean the settings app being unresponsive occasionally? I think that‘s related to device settings cause that issue has followed me across dozens of devices (starting with iPhone 7 to my current Xs running 13). I hand my previous devices down to family members and none of them have that issue anymore.
