I do not believe so.
And that's the kicker for me. Try as you might, you cannot find an analog to this situation, so while it is possible to postulate either possibility, many here have come up with all sorts of Rube Goldberg-like arguments to foreclose even the possibility that 13.1 may be the release version. I care which one only to the extent that it'd be nice to have everyone on Automations and Maps ETA feature at the outset, but those are really the only biggies that differentiate the 2.
There is way too much speculation in this thread.

It's only one day until the event. Hopefully the speculation can end shortly afterwards. Or will it become an iOS 13.1 speculation thread?

Not allowed to anymore, it’s frivolous apparently so says the message in my inbox.... that Iv not fully opened.
Me as well. I actually take it as an honor when I have a message deleted. It must have been really good.
I hope there’s an update soon if only so I can finally get rid of the 1 badge I’ve had on my settings app for the last 4 betas. Unless they haven’t fixed the bug again
You’ve contradicted yourself there. You said they’re not updated features, but ones removed for more work. That’s basically one and the same....
I read "updated features" as new features. If that was not the case, I stand corrected.
Looks like we got the new emoji in beta 2 of 12.1, everything about 13.1 isn't looking at a true X.1 release at all.

I'll honestly be surprised if tomorrow's GM isn't 13.1.

If you meant new features, you should have said it, as we cannot read your mind.
Well, since they usually come in November, there’s nothing in that, as obviously being shunted to 13.2, if the theory amongst a fair number of us is that 13.1 comes out in October, then that also fits.
I don‘t know where all the SDK talk comes from. Devs already have an official statement, it‘s called changelogs. These highlight any potential addition to the frameworks. I usually skim over them and there seem to be no real additions to 13.1 that‘d require a special heads up coming from 13.0 versions. Like, they never issue any special heads ups when they go from one point release to the other. The change logs exists for a reason.
You are probably correct. This may just be something we here, who are hyper sensitive to this, pay attention to. I guarantee you that members of my family would not care if they get 13.0 or 13.1 next week. Apple will brand as iOS 13 in any event, iOS 13.0 (or 13.1).
My point was that the change from 13.0 b8 to 13.1 b1 resembled what a move from b8 to b9 would have looked like. Had they not changed the official numbering from 13.0 to 13.1, I doubt anyone would have been the wiser.
More evidence of iOS 13.1 being a post-September release, right from Craig Federighi.
We're one week away from Foxconn shipping the devices out of Zhengzhou. You can bet the software image has been locked down 99%. If iPhone 11 were shipping with iOS 13.1, Federighi would more than just "hopeful" in implementing the lyric toggle feature.

iPhone 11 devices were already sent out of Zhengzhou (before September 1st) with iOS 13.0 (probably beta 8). iOS 13.1 should be day one update for those devices. That's why Apple had to increment the version number from 13.0 to something else because the software update version must be higher than the installed one. The day one or after week updates are always in the same branch with X.0 release which can be seen from the build numbers that all have "A" letter because SDK is the same.
Ten working days until a 13.1 update? Which is currently in Beta 3? I don't buy it. The feature set would be locked down by now and Federighi's team busy testing, not "hopeful" in implementing a new feature.
They've done this many times before, but they were x.0.1 or whatever, and never x.1.
IMO, 13.1 is unlikely before October.
Not sure it is really beta 3. Remember it is an A version, not a B. Which suggests it is the continuation of the .0 version. So perhaps beta 11 would be more accurate, but who knows, all of past history seems of little value this time. I am looking forward to see how this turns out.
Because if you look at the actual build# (not the "friendly name" ) 13.1 stayed on the 17A versioning scheme not the 17B as the typical x.1 updates go. Look back as any iOS version you want and note the build numbers of the x.0 and x.1 builds as far as the build # not the name they called it.
Because of above post regarding build #'s. 13.1 should be a 17Bxxxxxx for a true new x.1 release. (according how its always been)
Nope not the only difference. See above posts.
[doublepost=1568072272][/doublepost]Tomorrow is gonna be a very interesting day regarding GM. But also what the next beta is going to be after all the air clears on this one. Will it be a 13.2 with a 17B version? Another beta 13.1 with a changed to 17B build version? Stick with more 13.1 betas on the x.0 versioning scheme? Hmmm interesting indeed!
Happy Apple event day. Curious about what Apple will release today. Or next.
