I am glad at least that Apple has not forced me to update my iPhone 13 and 2023 Macbook, as Windows would have by now. I am hoping to ride this out, and that a later bundled update will remedy the worst complaints. The most alarming thought in TFA, though, was that the iPhone update might have at least a secondary mission of nudging the user to buy a new phone - certainly not an unknown tactic in tech.
- nottorp 9mo ago> Apple has not forced me Not for lack of trying. Heard the wife scream that they updated her to 26 2 days ago. And she had been warned. Not by me, she may not trust the conservative geek, but by our daughter who is cursing at iOS 26 right and left. So far I've managed to protect all my iOS and MacOS devices, but who knows what they sneak in next... By the way, ages ago I had to pull over on a road and wait for an iOS upgrade because Apple deemed to display the "upgrade now" dialogue over my navigation app and of course i touched the screen in the wrong place to get rid of it because i was driving.
- chrisjj 9mo agoWindows would have forced you to update a 2023 machine? Really?
- Hard_Space 9mo agoI don't think many would believe, based on what I wrote, that the machine had received no updates since 2023. Perhaps you forgot the closing /s
- chrisjj 9mo agoAgreed. But only because you said updates forced, not received.
