ios 9 automatic download making me furious

This is true - however your phone will now constantly remind you that you have an update to install. You say no do it later - then it pops up again and says - but you can do it later tonight if you want. The purpose of this is to trick you into agreeing to the upgrade - it only takes one slightly misplaced press to engage the upgrade.

super user friendly - huh?!

i want mine to stop download updates also. the reminder is the naggiest feature ever. what ever happened to the "never" option. even microsoft is considerate enough to have it.

All this is is Apple bragging that they have so many users on the latest iOS unlike the competitors.

Not entirely true. Not only does Windows 10 Home edition download updates, it installs them automatically too.

Hi All,

I have just tried online support option and as expected it was waste of time. Response from Senior consultant Chris:

There isn’t a way to prevent the message entirely, as you mentioned, it will download again and will show that message as you go about your day or leave it overnight. I do however recommend going to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html(Opens in new window)(Opens in new window) and leaving some feedback,I’ll also leave that here of course but the more we can get to log information here, the more likely it is we can get it to change for the next release. I’ll also leave that here of course but the more we can get to log information here, the more likely it is we can get it to change for the next release.

So the problem becomes now the most funniest: I don't want to update the iOS, but I have to update it, so it stops updating automatically by itself.

Apple feedback link.... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

For reference this was my comment:

Please provide means to control / refuse download of iOS upgrade package. Accessing people's internet download quota without authorization is immoral and potentially illegal. This is the reason I consider this behavior a software bug.

For reference, see forum discussions as per the links below.

So you already knew where the feedback links were and had send your comments you listed here prior to talking to Chris?

Deggie, may I ask why do you need to know that and how does it help solve the problem?

Or it's just for you to make up your monthly quota of posts?

You said your call was a complete waste of time but in giving the transcript you said he gave you the feedback link. Then you said you used it and encouraged others to do so. So that would make it not a complete waste of time.

I don't have a monthly quota of posts. I do have a monthly quota of dealing with toxic people and you just put me over the limit.

one thing for sure though... the mysterious Apple who are never here (as so many of the Apple Devotees will tell you) are certainly monitoring and editing this thread and deleteing comments they find disagreeable.

so by that... you are saying that Apple is the good guy in this scenario? Huh!

Hi its time this post was put to bed in life you get the happy people & the moaners.

Cheers

Brian

Happy apple user.

Buy something else, a Nokia or similar. Why get frustrated by the things you have to pay for.

Your advice is a little too late... Christmas has just gone and guess who didn't replace their iPhone / iPod / MBP / iPad with Apple kit.

If you're happy then good luck.

No "Apple Devotee" here has ever said there weren't moderators here, they said there usually are no Apple programmers, analysts, engineers, managers or executives here.

Guess who doesn't care? So if you don't have Apple kit why are you here?
