Neither OSX or IOS force upgrade. Chrome is an application, so that is a Apples to Oranges comparison.

- Silhouette 10y agoiOS upgrades are forced in all but name. Apple can and do remove versions of apps that supporter older iOS versions from the App Store. If you want the latest version of an app, you can be forced in practice to update iOS as well, and with so many mobile apps depending on remote services, something as simple as a change in the protocol for communicating with some essential remote facility in an app can lead to an entire OS update. The even crazier thing is that they also don't let you downgrade either the OS or the apps if a new version is worse than what you had before.
- exodust 10y agoiOS now forces point release updates as of version 9. Not sure about major versions, I guess we will see. I'm betting they will. To be clear, by "force" I mean the update is downloaded automatically in the background to your device regardless of whether you have system updates turned off. Then you are continually hounded with reminders to install that update, with no option to stop the reminders. It's actually worse than Windows because at least with Windows we can disable the notifications and prevent the update.
