So can I just like disable updates right now and not get this malware when it comes out in the future, or will it be some evil OTA update?

- joshstrange 5y ago> These features are coming later this year in updates to iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and macOS Monterey. As long as you stay on iOS 14/iPadOS 14/watchOS 7/Big Sur then you will never get the on-device features. The photo scanning is happening on photos you upload to iCloud. Other than for malware I'm not aware of Apple ever pushing an OTA (in the sense that the user doesn't get to choose to install the update since almost all updates are technically "OTA"). Even the most recent Pegasus hack fix is in an update you can choose to install.
