iOS 13 initial opinions ... Watch OS 6 coming

[cbelt3]

Last major OS update for my iPhone 6s probably. No portrait mode for me . The camera isn’t capable.
I really like night mode. As long as apps and web sites update for it.
Running a bit faster.

Watch OS ... 3 hours to install ? Sheesh...

No wOS6 for me, not yet anyway, TBA.

I like Night Mode.

Checking my 'Phone just now for an OS update, it was in Night Mode was in auto. I like the look.

I'll have to check 9to5Mac's 200 top features of iOS 13 to see what five apply to my SE.

iOS 12's App Store has an 'Updates' section with a dedicated button/tab at the bottom of the screen.
iOS 13's App Store is a complete redesign pushing GAMES! EXCITEMENT! RANDOM CRAP! AND SO MUCH MORE! but no 'Updates' for existing apps. WTF?

dark mode is ok. meh.

When you first open the app, it tells you that the updates have been moved and you will now find them by tapping on the person-icon on the upper-right.

Very strange variability in install-times.

iPhone 7 from work, 20m to install from the time that it rebooted. Personal iPhone 8 took over an hour.

Watch OS... Estimate jumped around a bit, but has been sitting at 3hrs for quite awhile.

Oh, F!

I hope nobody else here ever played with the "Bedtime" alerts.

If it was ever enabled, it will now eat over a third of your screen in the Alarms view in the Clock app and if you had several alarms, some of them are probably now knocked off-screen.

Do NOT enable this useless (and very annoying) "feature."

don’t mean to presume but is your watch on the charger with at least 50% charge?

Ah, another change for change's sake -- perfect.
