Don't Install If Your Situation is Fluid or You're Traveling

If you're hunkered down at home trying to weather the Coronavirus, if you're a first responder that uses your phone, or if you are you unable to spend time on the phone with Apple if something goes wrong after the update, you should wait to install this update until a later date.

There's a good chance iOS 13.7 works fine on your phone, but it takes a while to install the update and there is a chance something could go wrong.

The last thing you want to deal with right now is waiting an hour for an update to install, finding help with Apple Stores closed, or dealing with apps or services that aren't working.

If any of these things concern you, you might want to hold off until we know more about iOS 13.7.

If you are preparing to go on a trip or if you're in the middle of a trip, you might want to hold off on the installation. 

iOS 13.7 has the potential to cause problems and that's probably the last thing you want to be dealing with on a fun trip with your family or on an important business trip. 

If you're going to be away from home and away from your backups, we highly recommend waiting until you're back before installing the software.

    Warning to hearing aid users. If your aids stream music or phone calls, e.g. Phonak marvels or resound equivalent, DO NOT UPGRADE TO IOS 13 or 13.1. This functionality is completely lost. There is no current fix. Additionally the settings screen is not available at all. It certainly wasn’t on my iPhone 11 with preinstalled ios13.

      Kangers, I should buy you a drink. I was seconds away from installing iOs 13.1.2 when I read your comment. I’m one of those Resound hearing aid wearers that depends greatly on their app and being able to bluetooth my phone to my hearing aids. THANK YOU for saving me some real grief.

    iOS13 is google friendly made.
    For example, Safari13 repeatedly and periodically try to connect to safebrowsing.googleapis.com
    even if I completely turned off fraudulent site protection and I just only enabled private browsing mode.
    iOS13 or Safari13 sends every apple user’s device information(http useragent) and ip address periodically to google company. It includes usage pattern information and indication of who is using apple device.
    Why? Now, apple is best friend of google. My privacy and anonymity is not important to them.
    My iOS version is 13.1.2

    Don’t update to IOS 13 by any means they make a lot of small (and very annoying) changes to make you want a new iPhone
    IOS 13 is not suitable for a reset that has the 3D Touch Home button does not switch between appliques
    3D Touch works in parallel with a long touch which is really uncomfortable
    A large part of the changes in IOS 13 do not take into account that the iPhone 8 screen is smaller than more advanced devices
