and yet again they don't care about older iOS versions for people who don't want to brick their phones with updates

  • How do you update software without updating it? I'm literally at a loss with how you would like them to resolve it if you don't want to install updates.

    • I think what they're getting at it, release an iOS 10.3.4 or whatever so that people who don't want iOS 11 can still avoid this bug. They did this once before, around iOS 6 I believe, when the security certificate for Facetime ran out.

      And it's understandable. iOS 11 made my iPhone 7 - the newest one at the time - so unusable I sold it and got a different phone. It went from a good, snappy phone, to a slow mess that took seconds more to open or switch apps, crashed all the time, had UI glitches all over the place, and was so slow it couldn't play locally downloaded audio without stuttering and slowing down. Ew.

  • I'm really curious to know how you think they can possibly do that without you having to update your phone. Care to explain?
