Hey everyone,

I'm sticking to iOS 8.4.1 and whenever I plug my iPhone into my USB slot on my PC, it tells me there's a new update available for download in iTunes. I always check "Don't remind me again", but when I reconnect my phone to my PC, it reminds me anyway. This also happens on my GF's iPhone 5C on 7.1.2. I can't remember a time when this didn't happen, but I figured I'd come here to see if someone has a solution to this never-ending problem.

Come to think of it, it may only happen when iTunes is updated...which is quite often. Is there any way to fully disable this setting so when I update iTunes, it remembers my setting? Thanks.

Isn't that for the Apple software update utility? I'm talking about when you connect your phone to your computer there's a dialog box that comes up that notifies you there's an update available on your phone.
