Make sure to also delete the already downloaded update as well (if one has been downloaded already and you haven't deleted it yet).

yeah but you're going to have to upgrade at some point. Why delay it? Your current phone is going to break etc. You can't use an iPhone 6 in 2027.This constantly downloading in the background and then pop-up showing that an update is available for install with NO options to say NO.
It has become a routine already: Pop-up > lock phone > unlock phone > pop-up disappears > Go to settings, General, Storage & iCloud Usage, Manage Storage > Delete iOS 10.whatever > Restart phone to get rid of the little red circle with the number in settings icon.
How many times do I have to do this before Apple understands that the update is NOT WANTED?!
This is like having someone constantly breaking into your house to poop on the floor and then asks you do you want the poop to be thrown up to the fan.

Reason is very simple:

This isn't exactly the same thing, but my family regularly still use the original iPad. The battery life is amazing on it considering it is so old.
That was me. i didnt want to update but the ridiculous spamming and no opt out annoyed me til i gave in......
It's an app to report issues back to Apple. You can see if you can delete it, or just put it in some folder like we all basically do with various Apple apps that we don't care about (and can't remove).
I am running iOS 6.1.3 on my 4S and I will never "upgrade". I put in a lot of effort to revert back to iOS 6 but it was worth it.
No FaceTime though, right? And I'm guessing quite a few apps are not ones you can get anymore or aren't really working?
My son bought a 3GS on ebay running IOS 5.x. I was playing around with it and while it brought back some fond memories, imo, I marvel at how far IOS has come since then and really appreciate IOS 10 on my 6s after that. Not due to the hardware upgrade, but due to the way IOS has evolved over the last few years. But to each their own.
I'm still running iOS 9 on my iPad Pro and will likely keep it that way (I just delete the update). I've no issues with iOS 10's performance on the 6S Plus, but my battery life and standby times have taken considerable hits since upgrading. Great battery life is one of the things I love about iOS.. or at least I did before iOS 10.

You're right, but I'm not really the average user, I don't use most apps, I hate Facebook Instagram Snapchat etc. Most important thing for me is the music app and ssh access. I really don't like how they changed the music app in later versions
My guess is they're dealing with two issues. One being the hardware one found in 6s, or at least acknowledged, and then the software one that is plaguing almost all version of the iPhone where the phone randomly shuts off, in particular around the 30% battery level then magically revived once plugged in. I have it happen anywhere from 7% to 42% but as I said, it happens mostly around the 30% mark.
I'm guessing the "tech" guy in the family updated everyones during the holiday.
I haven't seen the shut off issues on my 6s, and I've let the battery drain pretty far down to 10%. I wonder if it's a combination of the chip and battery. I think I have the tmsc chip. Also my 6s has a serial number in the recall range.
There's probably some of that there, although a good part probably came from people getting new devices for the holidays.
eh, actually nope.
My 6s is perfectly fine other than the darn battery issue where I am bringing the cord with me all the time now.
With the way Apple screwing things around now, I may not want to keep the iPhone in September when the 6s is paid off.
And then Apple may not last all the way to 2027 since Steve is not here to save it again.

Seems kind of questionable to download something AND install on the phone...
Given that I did not even want to jailbreak the phone...
So 76% of Apple's users successfully fell prey to Apple's planned obsolescence
Yeah how awful to get support and free updates and new features for 4 year old phones. Please be greather than us and use cyanogen
Perhaps you should do some research before regurgitating things you've heard..
Bear in mind this phone will be five years old this year. The fact that it's still receiving updates is one thing, and the fact that these updates are actually speeding up the device makes it even more remarkable.
Just a tvOS profile from Apple, same as what people use for the public beta program (as that's where it comes from). Safe as it's basically been in use by many that do public betas for a while now since Apple introduced them to the public.eh, actually nope.

Essentially simply changes what updates from Apple can be pushed to the device and nothing else, and can be easily removed if/when needed without affecting anything else.

All that has already been brought up and addressed earlier in the thread.
Thanks . This is helpful .
Sadly the average punter will never know about this workaround.
Because the notifications were getting SUPER annoying.
I regretfully hate myself for installing iOS 10 so so so so much.
Messages, Control Center, and Music are all major components of iOS and they are much worse.
Hoping iOS 11 will clean up or I'm leaving the iPhone for a OnePlus
