anyone else tired of forced Ios updates?

So... I got an I Pad air 2 & an I phone 6...

Of course unlike most here i do not wish to upgrade my 2 apple products.

And! I can't stand pushing that pop up twice a day... APPLE NEED TO STOP HARASSING ME! 😟

And no, it is not for a Jailbreak, but for this simple reason:I like my product to last more then a couple of years before slowing down to a turtle stop!

Believe it or not, i have an Iphone 3g and 4 hanging in a drawer somewhere.

Never updated them,no Jailbreak and they are still as fast (almost) as day 1!

iPad Air, iOS 9.2, null

I purchased a 32 GBs iPhone SE, through Walmart.com, for my wife, just after the end of the holidays in 2018.

Paid in full for $160.

I was able to purchase an additional Mophie battery case and docking unit for only another additional $25.

Total cost of the iPhone SE with taxes was STILL slightly under $200!

That phone offer has a SIM that supports our monthly “pay as you go” cellular plan under Family Mobile (part of T-Mobile).

That was a GREAT deal for an iPhone!

I will wait it out for another year, until around the holidays, again, to see what iPhones Walmart will discount with support for our monthly plan to get an iPhone for myself.

Not paying $300 or more for an iPhone, if I can help it.

Well, for some reason, the only way I have found NOT to get an automatic download is to actually download the Mac OS installer and leave it in the Applications folder without installing it (e.g. High Sierra); I do have automatic updates disabled. The app store background process scans your hard drive (and any attached external drive) in order to know what it should "offer" you.

So you are giving up smartphones altogether then? Most of the ones worth owning will bug you to install updates also.

OMG I am sooooo sick of updates. I don't think I've ever once been able to use my laptop without being bugged to update.

The best and easiest way to "buy" new iPhones is to do it through phone service provider contract deals, thats How i cope with hardware/software updates for it.
