But, Apple is going above and beyond to coerce users into needlessly updating. I was actually forced to update my iPad because I forgot my pin[1]. Everything Apple has done has had the effect of slowly bricking your iPad, bit by bit. And these so called "upgrades" have only had the effect of removing features and slowing my device, and generally degrading the UX. This is not ok. I never actually purchased my iPad, it was given to me to develop medical software. And even though it was used in a closed offline environment, this forced update still broke things and set back our development. I also know a teacher who was forced to shelve her lessons after she was tricked into updating her iPad 4 to iOS 11, which had so much latency when typing that it was rendered virtually useless.
