Why am I forced to keep uodating my phone

I do not want to download more updates. When I decline the update for 9.3.4, suddenly my wifi is almost non-existent. It worked fine before I declind the update. Have reset the wifi on my phone, turned the phone off etc, but it appears the only way to use wifi now is to update my phone.


What is the point of buying Apple if our phones stop working when we refuse Apple access to our phone content? Maybe it's time to go back to Blackberry.

Declining the update would not have affected your WiFi. Both of the last two iOS updates have been solely security updates it it's in your best interests to update. But, no, Apple is not making you. Correlation does not prove causality.


What troubleshooting steps have you taken other then turning WiFi off and on and power cycling the phone? "Etc" is just a tad vague. Have you reset our network settings? Is this happening on all WiFi networks? Or just some? If all, have you tried restoring your phone from a back up?

Let's see, I shut off my phone and restarted, as I said. I also "Forgot the network" cleared my cache. Reset wifi settings then re-entered my wifi info. It connects, it just runs reeeeaally slow, like 10 minutes to open a page. When I **** wifi off, it works on my network. I have this same problem every single time Apple sends an update to my phone a d I decline it. Then if I accept the update, voila it works. So yeah, I'm intelligent enough to discern the difference between correlation and causation, it simple happens every single time Apple sends an update and I don't accept.

As the OP has not updated to the latest version of iOS, no you're problem is not the same. You should start your own thread. Describe, in complete words and complete sentences what you did and what happened when you tried. If English is not a language in which your comfortable, use whatever one is.

As this doesn't happen to anyone else, there must be something very special about your phone.


I don't understand this sentence, "When I **** wifi off, it works on my network". What are you doing to your WiFi? Please explain without words that are unacceptable to civil discourse. If you're turing WiFi off, how is your phone then working on your network?
