iOS 13 Now Installed on 55% of iPhones Introduced in Last Four Years

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)

And I assume your family members were all smart enough to look for a profile of another Apple platform on the Internet, then install it in order to be in control of their update by blocking forced downloads triggered once popping in the "Software Update" section despite "Automatic Updates" being set to off. Darn easy, they say. "Just works", they say.

Ok? So if I can get a phone for as little as possible while satisfying my need, why would I spend 1300+ CAD for an iPhone? I think $400 dollars phone do as much as iPhone can.

If you are after the sub-$400 phone market I can definitely see why you would want to upgrade every two years given that they usually come with good but more outdated specs and software. Personally I prefer buying a premium device and using it for a longer time. My 6s is still working perfectly fine and it will have lasted me 5 years when I upgrade next year. To each their own I guess.

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.

Really, how do I get rid of the prompt then? Google didn't help me!

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.

Now that I have blocked repeated prompts to update as well as them downloading the iOS package I started seeing the nagging badge. How do I get rid of it?

I love it. So many here trying so hard to spin something bad or negative out of this story - a big bowl of FUD. To feel good, apparently.

And your there to correct them as usual. 👍

Nope, not to correct; behavior such as that is not correctable.

Simply to observe and comment.

I've gotten 3 nag messages in the past two days. Update was deleted from iPhone yet it still bugs me.

That must be the excellent Apple Customer Services people wax lyrical about.

Absolutely. Built into all of their products.

Meanwhile apple can't give away free updates.

Except the ~500,000,000 they gave away in the first month of dropping iOS 13?
