Answer: 6. No. I see no compelling reason to install it the minute it is released.
Got a tip for us?

Same thoughts here. I also have no time for troubleshooting unstable devices or beta bugs.
It is a major hobby of mine playing with new software. I’m looking forward to playing with it.
I will. I install all betas in my secondary phone and iPad air. Get perspective from betas on phone and iPad devices.
Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure this will be the biggest software disrupter ever in the history of mobile OS like iOS, Android, etc.
I will install ios 13 immediately on my test devices. My main device I will wait until later in the beta cycle. And so the cycle will begin again.

I can’t wait for iOS 13. If I can get 8-9 hrs SOT on X with Dark Mode I’ll be a happy camper.
I currently get 5-7 hrs of light usage SOT with DM being used in some of my apps. And apps that I use Dark Mode in I basically use like 40% less power for the same time usage.
I really want to jump on board as soon as it’s out but I only have my main iPhone available for testing so I’ll wait till people report back it’s stable enough. I might install on my iPad though!
I’m already gutted I’ll be on a flight and will miss the first hour of WWDC. At which point of the Monday live do you think they will present iOS 13? I’m hoping toward the end.. I can’t remember the format and if they first talk about other stuff, giving me some time to get online!

The first hour or two of WWDC will be iOS 13 for the public. After that it’s actual developer code etc. Only the first 1-2 hrs of the first day are relevant for us.
Oh! I guess I might as well wait until it’s over and try to find the first rebroadcast of it and watch it from the start.
Thanks for letting me know!
Possibly on the ipad. Not until three or so on the phone. Too many apps often don't work at launch, so I can wait. I'm most interested in new watch features.
I used to install developer betas on my iPad starting day 1 and wait for some more stability before doing so in my phone.
However, I have transitioned 90% of my portable workflow from my MacBook to my iPad Pro, so I may hold off this year. I will see how compelling the feature set is before making a decision.

I may install it on my iPad a few betas down the line, but my phone will be staying far away from beta releases.
I switched to the public beta option when that came out and have always installed beta 1 on my day-to-day phone. I like to live on the edge...
Every year I install the new Dev beta on day 1, because I like to have the latest and greatest and simply can't help myself ( i know, I know its a disease lol)
However this year I am rocking a very stable jailbroken iphone XS Max with all of the features and tweaks I want from iOS so I may hold off on updating altogether..... Unless Apple gives us all of the following ... And knowing Apple I highly doubt all will happen:
-Dark mode
-Home screen redesign / Ability to place icons anywhere
-Revamped widgets
-updated volume HUD
-redesigned incoming call and siri screen (minimized)
-ability to go straight to home screen with face id when no notifications present
-Ability to control alarm volume independent of ringer volume
- Split screen apps or at least PIP for iPhone
