You have that option now? iOS updates aren't forced.

  Yeah. I have a habit of waiting a very long time to update.

  iOS update to most recent release is always forced during reinstallation. It's not possible to reinstall any older version you were previously running. You will lose access to apps which are not compatible with newer iOS.

    You're an extreeeeeme outlier.

      After an iOS device is compromised, is there any option other than reinstall?
      • wmf 1y ago
        I didn't know reinstalling is even possible so I would just throw the device away.

          It's an Apple option when restoring an iOS device backup on Apple Macbook. Many zero-day security flaws are documented as fixed in Apple updates, actively used to compromise iOS devices.

            It doesn't even take a Mac. Windows iTunes allows restoring to signed versions of iOS

          Too Android-pilled?

      That's not a reason to dismiss their use case. It's not that uncommon to have a software issue that requires a restore, which in Apple land is almost always an upgrade unless you just did one

  You don’t receive security updates for older versions when your device supports a newer version.
