How do I stop ios auto-update download?

[Jimmy James]

I carefully manage the space on my phone to leave a bit of extra room for juggling media.

My phone just automatically downloaded iOS 8 and occupied most of that space. Since I have a 4s and heard it gets slower I don't want it. Is there a way to disable?

This really renders Apple's high software adoption rates meaningless if you don't have the choice.

You can try iExplorer or DiskAid. These programs will allow you to see all the files and folders on your phone and add and delete as necessary.

It is an unstoppable force. Just surrender.
