My 6s came with 9.3 from the factory and I plan on keeping it that way...until some major major security flaw requires me to update, there's something to be said with sticking with the iOS that came with your phone/pad.

Well, technically there are often security flaws that get fixed, it's just a question of when they might be exploited and if they would make enough news if/when they are if they don't necessarily affect a lot of people (but still have an affect on those who are affected nonetheless).

Congratulations.

Because back on those days Apple actually had stable releases at X.0 that didn't need 17 updates to fix them throughout the release year.
You mean when the ecosystem and OS was magnitudes simpler?
 
I don't understand all the complaining about more frequent updates and betas. I remember a few years back when they'd release iOS 5 or 6 and then do like iOS 5.1 or 2 and that was it. I remember when it was celebrated that Apple added public betas and now people are complaining about the frequency of an OPT-IN beta? Strange bunch sometimes...
Every single thing Apple does is wrong. Once you understand that, you understand these forums.

I'm guessing this is because a large number of devices are being dropped in iOS 10. They want to leave iPhone 4s, 5, 5c and iPad 2 and 3 and iPad mini 1 and 2 on iOS 9 in my opinion.
My guess is its the last update they will see before the 64bit only iOS 11. My guess isn't based on anything but a hunch though!
 
Huh, try again with facts next time, people have complained about X.0 every single time.
Most .X.1 release also have small feature updates and not just fix bugs; they just piggyback bug fixes on top of them.
You prefer waiting 4 months for those features.
iOS 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 were much more stable on release than 7.0, 8.0, 9.0.

Oh here we go....taking a page out of the old Apple PR book are we????

Yes iOS is much more complex and has more features. However, if the features cant be relatively bug free upon release then it shouldn't be released. Let alone bricking phones cellular connectivity (last year) and iPad pro 9.7 (last week). Or deleting people's music with Apple Music. I'd love to read your defense of iTunes....does iTunes "increased functionality" overrule what a giant steaming pile of crap it is??????
 
The more betas they release, the more devices that seem to be bricked when the "final" release is released.

iOS 9.3.3 will be what 9.3.2 should have been all along.
 
If Tim or Craig or Phil actually knew that most educated ios users fear their updates (with good reason) and gain satisfaction from endlessly deleting the update from their device (only for it to be forced down the pipe to us as soon as we plug in......only for us to delete it once again)... If they only understood that we gain satisfaction in doing this, like swatting a mosquito over and over again that will never die till kingdom come...

If they only knew how poisoned they have infected their user base with Update Loathing....A loathing-base that increases with every iteration....

If I they only knew of the rot in the focsle that festers deeper with every update like a pestulent weeping sore....

If they only knew.

Is there any way to cancel an update you've downloaded? I downloaded, but didn't install, 9.3.2 on my 9.7" iPad Pro and it keeps asking me to install it, which I don't want to. I can't find any place in settings to remove the update.
You can delete it under the Manage Storage settings.

What? I'm an educated user and I can't wait to hit the button. Nothing has ever been broken to the extent it makes me "hate my iPhone ".

And in Jobs' days updates couldn't even be deleted.

My guess is this will do absolutely nothing outside of fix thenipad bricking issues.
It would sort of make sense except that it seems there's no beta for the iPads that could experience those issues.
 
Mad OS X is the glitchy it's ever been and iOS is as well. Guess we'll never get the polish we once had from our Apple products and software.
 
But then if that was the only or the main thing that was being addressed then why release a beta before it is actually addressed?
[doublepost=1464062873][/doublepost]
I have the iPad Pro 9.7 that I haven't updated yet and am now being prompted several times a day to update to 9.3.2.
You can delete it so that you wouldn't be prompted.

Lol idk. Perhaps to make sure the fix doesn't break anything in devices that didn't have a problem with the previous release. Could be thenipad so get it later? I wish I knew.
 
Okay, but...

Ask an iPad Pro 9.7 owner...

If you had checked you'd know that particular issue was relative to some iPad Pros not ALL iPad Pros. Like all bugs they don't affect every single user across the board. They're almost always symptomatic of lesser known issues particularly isolated to a few users, as is in that case. If it were as widespread as you'd make out to be, Apple would've seen it clearly and fixed it already. Clearly the problem isn't ubiquitous, the same with 99.9% of most bugs.
 
Hopefully this won't brick my iPad Pro 9.7.
Well don't install it then!
[doublepost=1464078469][/doublepost]I've never had a single issue on any device with Apple Beta's and I have them all pretty much, not sure why some people have them but I think they'll find they are in the minority?
