This is the worst version of iOS ever and I don't know if it will get any better soon. I realize I'm with an older phone BUT they said my phone will get faster than an iOS12 lie! Full of bugs, the signal bar and my battery disappear quite often, I have a problem with Safari - suddenly the page I am looking at goes down in the left corner, Apple Music Tab for navigation in the app disappears - I can't pause or change the song, I have to to close Apple Music to change the song. It takes up a lot of memory - my phone is constantly full of memory and it drives me crazy. I'm so sorry that I've been updating to this version like never before. I don't like anything about it, but I'm a huge Apple fan. There is no hope that things will get better soon and will get worse ?

I recommend setting your iPhone up as new if you're having these problems. Erase and reset it and then don't restore from a backup. See if it's better. Because these aren't normal bugs.

Set your phone up as a new phone.

Also, I wonder, is there a way to revert back to 12.4 for those who are experiencing disasters like this?

Weird. If a restore won’t work, I wonder why this isn’t an issue being experienced by everyone? ?

Some issues does have everyone, some only a few people. It looks like everyone has different problems. Have I ever mentioned that the auto correction of the keyboard sucks?

Yeah, auto correct doesn't seem to be helping you type a coherent sentence.

Restore haha , I did it twice and there is no change. Anyway, I don't think I should be attacked because I say what I think, there are other people who don't like this version and see the bugs but aren't blinded by Apple fans like most here. I love Apple, but every year it gets worse and worse

My best iPhone experience ever was with iOS 12 and my iPhone 6s Plus. Very fast, not much issues, maybe only 1-2, 2 days battery life...

And now with the XS Max and iOS 13? Lags, freezes, crashes, hundreds of bugs and issues, worse battery life.

Similar threads were around in the iOS 11 forum, iOS 9 forum, iOS 7 forum, just to name a few of the more "prominent" ones.

Have you restored and then installed your backup onto the restored phone? If so its more than likely you are putting the issues back on the phone from your backup. Try restoring as a new phone and running it for a while and you'll probably find its fine. You claim its older phones but my 6S is fine as already mentioned.
