• Apple’s fall OS release schedule is weird—here’s when your device will be updated

  12-09-2019 23:00 via macworld.com
  
  Generally, Apple releases its big fall operating system updates at nearly the same time. We get the new iOS, tvOS, and watchOS all on the same day (or nearly so), and the new macOS within a week or two. Yes, there are further “point releases” to add features and fix bugs, but the big drop is often more or less at once.This year is different. Apple started public tests of iOS 13.1 weeks before the release of iOS 13. It split the iPad off into its own OS with its own release date

• Comment: Apple could kill Wear OS with a pull of the Apple Watch lever
