Oct 14, 2016 4:49 AM in response to dequationby MattF7272,I agree on the forcing updates. Since 9 I've been constantly nagged to upgrade the OS when there is an update available, so much so that it's intrusive. It's often stopped videos when I'm watching to tell me there's an upgrade, and asks numerous times a day.
We've upgraded my 6S and our iPads, but my wife has a 5S and I'm reluctant to upgrade that to 10 given the performance issues that are effecting even newer models, but she's being constantly nagged to update it and there's no way to stop the nagging.
Apple only seemed to take this stance since iOS 9, but for some reason they seem to get away with it without any media fuss. When it's Microsoft forcing updates people go apes##t at them for it, but Apple can do what they want with little or no backlash.
I'm going back to Android when I next upgrade. :>(

Oct 14, 2016 6:34 AM in response to MattF7272by miguel_forum,this I have learned already before with my iPad 2, was a super machine until the day I did the update for the iOS8 and I gave up on the iPad, was so slow that instead of being a helping device was an irritating device, I end up selling it on ebay on that advice that iOS8 did the iPad very slow. the worst is that Apple will block from downgrading after a while. Today who wants can still go back to iOS 9.3.5, Apple is still assigning it, probably until they release the iOS 10.1.
for you MattF7272, I don’t advice to update the iPhone 5S to iOS10, the disadvantages of losing performance are bigger than getting "new" features. can be also that some of the new features are blocked by Apple to older hardware versions, that is typical Apple also in computers macOS system.
I did the update o iOS10 to my 6s, but hopefully next year by the iOS11, I will remember all these troubles and will not do anymore iOS updates. Let’s be honest, what the **** did we win between iOS9 and iOS10? For me, I would say, just the iMessage emotions and special effects, the rest is uninteresting for my use.

Oct 14, 2016 12:11 PM in response to Steve vby Johnh777 ,The battery runs down so fast it is unbelievable. It would almost be better if it exploded like the Samsung phone at least I would have a great story to tell and maybe get a refund.

Oct 14, 2016 8:53 PM in response to Johnh777by w7sg_599,LOL, outstanding!!! When will people learn to NEVER do software updates.
I hope you get your device back to normal asap. I am googling the internet to see if someone out there has a fix.

Oct 15, 2016 4:04 AM in response to w7sg_599by liuta,yes we learned not to do software updates. but you get non stop nagging, the update is being downloaded to your phone and on my iphone it finished off the rest of available storage space... 1 giga. so you finish by installing it hoping to free space. i tried looking for solutions to downgrade but it looked too complicated to restore then the iphone from itunes. it seems that backing up once from ios 10 overwrites the former backups so i can' t find them. abd it is impossible to restore an ios 9 iphone from an ios 10 backup. any suggestions?
i will not update my ipad although i keep getting nagging reminders. is there any possibility to stop these reminders ?
thanks for your suggestions

Oct 15, 2016 8:27 AM in response to liutaby fanaticguitars,No, unfortunately there's no any possibility to stop the reminders. Apple is forcing us to update.

Oct 15, 2016 8:42 AM in response to Steve vby w7sg_599,re: "Apple is forcing us to update."
Absolutely not. Your phone automatically downloads, you update manually. My 6+ still has the version it came out of the box with.

Oct 15, 2016 8:44 AM in response to w7sg_599by fanaticguitars,Doesn't it notify you daily about the update?

Oct 15, 2016 9:45 AM in response to w7sg_599by MattF7272,It nags numerous times a day to update, often when watching a video (stopping the video). The options are to upgrade, remind me later or do it overnight. There is no option to say no thanks, I want to stay on this version.
How is that not forcing you to upgrade? You either upgrade, or you get constantly pestered to do it until you get fed up with it and do it.

Oct 18, 2016 11:25 AM in response to Steve vby angryshortguy,I'm having the same issue since 'upgrading' from my iphone 6 plus to an iphone 7.
I had one incident where my phone got VERY hot and dropped from 80% down to around 20% in less than two hours.
I had to shut it down until I got home.
Now it drops to 60% or less by the time I get home from work every day.
I'm usually not even using the phone.
I want my 6 plus back. That lasted two days and then some...
Fix this Apple!

Oct 18, 2016 11:30 AM in response to Steve vby musicmick1,iOS10 bricked my 5s after became extra-hot and drained the battery. No way to reinstall and make it work again. They said I have to buy another one, out of warranty. I presume it's update's fault, not mine, still... I have to pay? Not me, sorry... Love Samsung/HTC!!!!!!

Oct 18, 2016 11:46 AM in response to Steve vby ZakfromATX,Ok, So all I hear are gripes from other users yet I don't see ANY responses from APPLE!!! What good is this "forum" if we don't get ANY FEEDBACK FROM ACTUAL APPLE SOFTWARE FOLKS!?
This is the crappiest method of software support in the industry...
