What's the skinny on iOS 13.2 - yay or nay?
I'm on 13.1.2 (6S). I've been seeing intermittent drops in LTE connectivity. I have LTE but apps intermittently show no network connection. Comes back after awhile; phone services still functional during this connectivity loss.

iOS 13.2 - sounds like there are some bricking issues.

Not sure if I should install or not. Current status is not good. But then, I guess it could be worse with 13.2.....?

Haven’t had any issues so far using it with an 8+.

My performance dropped and a few apps close when they want to.

Screen freezes too. I normally wait to download the new updates, jumped the gun this time.

Works fine on my 6S plus.

No problems on my 6S, but I can't say I like all the improvements I've seen.

I unfortunately loaded up 13.1.3 and frankly it sucks

more difficult to navigate, 'features' are really bugs in disguise

wish I could upgrade to around 12 or so which seemed to work fine

I have a 7 that I just updated yesterday. So far no issues, but with 13.1.2 my phone was a dog. Battery drained much faster than previously and it would drop LTE connection like a hot potato. Also had a problem with apps closing, but I haven't had the issue since I updated yesterday afternoon.

The most annoying issue for me is “Smart Invert” not working correctly. It was my favorite feature for night time use, but it’s all screwy now.

13.1.3 for me. No problems. I have an XR.

iOS 13 has been vexed with issues. I have a 7plus That has challenges opening & viewing many web pages. Battery performance has dropped and my phone periodically reboots itself almost daily. This all with 13.1 & 13.1.3. Maybe 13.2 fixes these bugs?

Thanks. Installed. Hopefully not any worse than 13.1.3.

I just updated hoping it fixes the Bluetooth connection issues on my 11pro with the truck

The bricking is with the homepods. Haven’t seen anything about it bricking phones

Let me know when the bugs are out. It was set to auto install, until I read this thread. I had a previous Iphone bricked with update.

Battery life on my iPhone 8 (running 13.2) seems to have taken a hit. Also have 4 apps stuck trying to update. Have cancelled it 3 times and resumed, switching from Wi-fi on/off and no luck. Not sure how I feel about iOS 13.

Edited to add: sat like this for an hour but a power cycle fixed the issue.

I'm underwhelmed with iOS 13.x so far. The Safari browser, in particular, seems more than a little crippled. 13.1.3 is bad enough. I've turned off automatic updates & will await further developments vis-a-vis 13.2.

This. A bunch of stuff changed on my iPad that was supposed to make it more intuitive, but I had to search for the answers just like before.

I’m having some issue with downloading offloaded apps. Also the doing circle next to the LTE signal indicator keeps spinning non-stop even if I close all apps. Using data? Updating something? Bug? Hope it’s not doing something that will quickly drain the battery. Sigh.

I guess the choice is connectivity but quick battery drain or no connectivity? That’s the choice Apple is offering us?
