Should I install iOS 13 or wait?

When is iOS 13.1 released?

IOS 13.1 will be released on September 24, giving a solution to the various small-bugs that Apple unfortunately did not manage to "clean up" in iOS 13. Along with iOS 13.1 we expect the new iPadOS, the upgraded version of the operating system for the iPad.
