I just set up a new iPhone yesterday, and it was pretty frustrating. Apparently there is a known bug that prevents seamlessly setting up a new iPhone from your old one unless you first perform an OS update. The phone started the update, but the screen was immediately visually corrupted and the update simply hung. I was forced to restart the phone and go through multiple attempts to get everything to work. In the end, I had to erase the phone and start over from scratch after applying the updates. Some of the advice on the web seems to be to set the phone up as a new iPhone then perform the updates, then erase it and set it up from your old phone afterwards. Every time I’ve done this before in the last several years it has worked almost perfectly. So I would agree… I would definitely like to see more than just a weeks worth of bug fixes!
