iOS 1 and 4 yes. But iOS 5 stopped at 5.1.1 and iOS 6 stopped at 6.1.6. Only about 5-8 updates each for an entire year. 10.2.1 is the 7th update for iOS 10.

My point being that we didn't get major feature updates, only bug fixes.

I think this change in feature delivery is Apple's way of getting major updates out on time every September, with less significant changes coming through the year. This serves 2 purposes: takes pressure off the major update and keeps the buzz going the rest of the year (witness: this thread!).

Very unlikely. Unless they release 10.2.1 at 8AM and then 10.3 at 10AM. I think its only happened once before and it was this year (iOS 10).

Only once this early, yes. At least as far as I can remember. My first Apple products were an iPod touch 2. Gen. and later an iPhone 5. Once an OS Update for the iPod touch came out around midnight, (Germany). I could be wrong.
