Apple's rules and human interface guidelines for dialog boxes require the buttons to use verb phrases, like don't install. Instead apple uses unclear choices to trick people to update.

I am split between spark and mail, and when I used the mail app to email some of my colleagues via the shortcuts app, I felt it worked fine for me. I like the new UI, everything feels smoother overall, and my emails are there right where they should.
Either I lucked out on the iOS update lottery, or I don’t use mail heavily enough to notice the bugs, or ...?
Not exactly sure what's tricky here:
I'm busy right now and don't have time to update now, which choice should I pick if I don't want to update?

The likely typical path would be to select "Later" which will take you to the next screen with the passcode prompt to install later where you can select "Remind Me Later".I'm busy right now and don't have time to update now, which choice should I pick if I don't want to update?
(Alternatively you can select "Details" and then just use the home button or swipe to go to your home screen.)
How in heavens and earth are you able to upgrade to ios 10? Back to the Future, maybe?I'm busy right now and don't have time to update now, which choice should I pick if I don't want to update?
Considering how my phone constantly nags me to update, and I have to very carefully press the right selections to NOT get the update, and that there is no option to remove the nagging, it just goes to show the extraordinary number of people out there that are too scared to update! Why? A long history of bad updates, and no way to back out if it goes bad. Apple could definitely do a lot better here.
Plenty of people haven't even gotten a prompt to update actually.
That aside, https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...uced-in-last-four-years.2206190/post-27886279 might be of some help.
The tricky part is actually getting that screen, which I never got...Not exactly sure what's tricky here:
I thought Apple officially dropped support for 32bit as of iOS13 and MacOS Catalina? So, doubt Apple will reverse course, leaving you with only one option. Not to mention, didn't developers begin dropping support for 32bit years ago?

Hence, me mentioning it is probably useful for developers, but not for average users (which makes up 99% of the iOS user base).
Not exactly sure what's tricky here:
Because to get the behaviour 'do not update', one must press Later, then Remind Me Later, or details then quit settings.
The dialog should be 'Install Update Now', 'Install Update Later' or 'Do not Install update'.
Something like that could certainly be better. That said, the way it is, while it might take an extra tap to not have it install, the options for that are there.
Weird thing is that I got a pop on my X this morning (after a reboot) telling me iOS 13 was available. It badged the Settings app too. But when I go look in Software Update, it's not there. I have the tvOS beta profile installed, it *shouldn't* be there. All good. But where'd it check to find out that 13.x was available in the first place, and why is it still badging Settings? PITA.
To return to the previous (pre-profiled) state first remove this profile and restart. That way you'll regain the ability to get notified about system updates and install them.
As for the badge, log out of and then log back into your iCloud/AppleID. Any difference?
As noted earlier in the thread, the last thing I want to do is install iOS 13. Hence the tvOS profile. As for logging out and back into my AppleID, that is probably harmless enough... I certainly don't keep anything there that the phone would have to re-sync. May do that.
Apple services... just say no.
And your evidence for that is? Numbers plucked out of thin air?
The point is that the options for not installing are obscured. It is far easier to install than not install.
There should be the option "Install now", "Install later" and "don't install". That would be effective and easy to understand.
Sorry .. that's not being sold so good for Apple and users this time around. 5 updates in 45 days ... 3 plugged security holes that never where fixed previously nor did they exist.
With so many employees Apple has, many of which are NOT in retail or directly related services/support ... makes you wonder if their internal programmers have too much on their plate and missing so much? Or is the community more driven to find and report issues.
PS: Gotta love of preteens find a loop-hole in Apple's restrictions lol.
Have you check if you're exchange server has been updated/or needs an update? If you're in cloud ... have you tried 1 user/1 device to remove from ActiveSync ... fully removed the device from Exchange and ActiveSync records waited for replication to clear it out.
Then retry activating the device/user?
Your wife was forced by Apple to install the new OS? Holly Molly! I would sue them.
Luckily, non of my family members were "forced" to do such a terrible thing! They all got a notification on the settings, letting them know there was an update (as usual)
