Apple appears to be pushing its operating system release timetable forward, with the update from iOS 13 to iOS 13.1 and the release of iPadOS 13 brought ahead to September 24.
Following the release of iOS 13 to the public, Apple has updated the page for the iPhone operating system with some new information. A notification for the update to iOS 13.1 in the small print explains it will be "Available September 24, 2019."
Previously, Apple advised of the release of iOS 13 for September 19, while the iOS 13.1 update would be made available on September 30. The change means iOS 13.1 is arriving approximately 6 days earlier than originally planned.
As part of the same website update, the page for iPadOS now shows a similar shift in release period, from September 30 to September 24, the same time as iOS 13.1.

"Apple has updated the page for the iPhone operating system with some new information. A notification for the update to iOS 13.1 in the small print explains it will be 'Available September 24, 2019.'" Anyone have a screenshot for this? I can't find anywhere on the page that references that iOS 13.1 let alone the date on which it will be available. There _is_ a footnote that says "Available September 24, 2019" but that's just indicating when the iPod touch (7th gen) will be getting iOS 13.
I was just about to get excited. Dag. I hope it is released then. Gimme all the features my phone can take!!
I haven't found anything on Apple's site either than says when 13.1 is coming out and I've checked several other sites on this story, none offering a link to directly read this tidbit. But it's being reported as confirmed everywhere as well.
That's great news...shorter wait for trying out Apple Arcade on a larger screen + controller. Having fun with it on my Xs, but it does run on the warm side if you spend more than 30 minutes playing.
