anyone else tired of forced Ios updates?

Yes, that's definitely a solution, because Samsung never releases updates. Which is why the malware vulnerabilities keep multiplying on Samsungs.

Samsung's will also keep popping up a message insisting you update.

I have been a zx spectrum, commodore, hitbit sony owner.

android user on tablet and phones,I have been using windows from xp to 7.

One month ago I have bought an Ipad (Errare humanum est) and after many days trying it I think is the worst way of wasting money of my entire life.

1) You have to use determined and mandatory Os even if you legally want to downgrade or upgrade your own os need the aproval from apple in signing this os

2) After paying a lot of pounds for this device I am not free to install app from other places

3) I can not even use my storage inside the device for transferring a film, a photo or listening a song.

4) etc,etc,etc I am really unhappy.

I am absolutely fed up and tired of my Ipad and as result I got it parked at the shelf waiting for the hope and accepting the risk of install something in it despite of the fact of bricking it for having something that finally works. Or selling in Ebay assuming the lost of money

Kind Regards

My personal 6 is on iOS 8.4.1. I never see prompt to update anymore. Maybe it will give up over time. 🙂

It's too bad that you're unhappy with your purchase. But I'm not sure why you're addressing this to me. iOS devices hold their resale value very well. Sell it and buy something that suits you better.

^^ totally true. no reason to hang onto something you don't love. Sell it and get something you do!

That reminds me, I have to go update my Apple Watch.

Ya Know?

All, and I do mean ALL, of my old and new iDevices are working really fine on the latest iOS version.

You have two, up to date iDevice models that somehow got trashed by an iOS upgrade/update?

Don't want to take the time to resolve this yourself with everyone's help?

Why don't you make a backup of your iDevices" data, then if you have an Apple Store that is in reasonable driving distance, bring both devices into an Apple Store and have them straighten out your devices for you.

These are the latest and greatest devices, you got there!

Apple can't give you any excuses about the devices being too old or whatever excuses they may come up with.

They will HAVE to try and fix your iDevice issues.

There have been users that have reported success that their iDevices are working fine since taking their iDevices to the Apple Genius employees at their local Apple Stores.

It can't hurt and it's better than coming into these forums whining and moaning and wasting all the volunteers' time here with your ramblings and spewings

I can't believe the moderators of these forums haven't deleted any of your comments and replies in this thread post.

You are clearly just whining and complaining in this whole thread and aren't looking for any real help or resolutions to your iDevice problems.

Your later rants were that your iDevices SiNCE your daughter ended up updating these are not functioning as they should.

BTW, I DO the same as you.

I wait out iOS upgrades/updates for, at least, a week, sometimes a lot longer, if there are reported bugs/issues.

Unfortunately, I couldn't wait as long as I would've like to to update to iOS 9.3.1 because there is a fairly major security threat of a remote activated version of the iOS date/time bug that can both brick and burn up your iDevice's internals remotely over a public, open WIfi network.

This had been discovered, just recently, and this vulnerability was specifically targetted to any iDevice still running the older iOS 9.2.1 update.

So, I was, sort of forced, to update my devices, just under a week, because I have two, relatively, brand new andvexpensive iDevices, that I do not to get wasted. And I have two older iDevices that I don't want trashed, either.

Anyhoo...

Your iDevices are pretty new. I would strongly suggest you get your yourself and your iPhone and iPad to an Apple Store to get them to fix your iDevices and get them back to working properly and quit all of B.S. that you keep posting here about it!

You do not have to update your devices after this and there is a way to get rid of the update/upgrade notices for awhile ( Settings App, General, Storage and iCloud Usage, Manage Local Storage. A list of apps generate. The iOS upgrade/update file appears within this list where you can tap on it and delete the upgrade/update file for awhile. The red balloon notification will not dissappear, but the actual update file will be gone from your iDevices.

The upgrade/update file will return, but much less frequently and you can still remove/delete it the same way each time.).

This is how I put off iOS upgrades/updates for awhile without the update constantly bugging me to install a new iOS upgrade/update.

In the meantime you can get Apple employees at an Apple Store to straighten out your iDevices.

You want your devices to go back to working the way they were or not or keep coming here ranting about all of your issues and complaints with Apple doing this and that.

From here on out, you now know how you can keep iOS upgrades/updates off of your iDevices for as long as you want.

so funny to see part of the conversation is removed
