Normies usually have their updates set to automatic, so they get the updates a soon as they're out.
I count over 9 security updates for iOS 16 [1] as of July 10th, with the rest of the year to go. I feel like as soon as any type of update is released by Apple, I'm inundated with the news from many websites, RSS feeds and the PGP-signed email from Apple with the news [2] [3].

I have my iPhone and iPad both set to automatic updates, as are some others in the family. I have noticed several times when my iPad will get an update and then a couple weeks later I'll be on another family member's iPad and notice it still hasn't done the update yet.

I check it in the morning and it will say “failed to install update”. Then I’ll have to fight it for the next 5 minutes to get it to actually begin the download.
