Again, even with automatic update off, software update re-downloads the update every time. I've deleted it twice.

Anyone having issues with battery issues? My iPhone 6s used to have 1-1/2 to 2 days of battery life. Since updating to iOS 13, I'm lucky to get a half a day out of it before having to recharge. I've seen several forums on this very issue and still Apple claims to have no battery issues. Thanks, Apple.
Apple has posted the first stats for iOS 13 adoption since its launch on September 19th for iPhone.
Apple shared the statistics on the App Store Developers page which was updated today. Apple reports that iOS 13 is installed on 55% of all iPhones introduced in the past four years, and 50% of all iPhone devices, as measured by App Store activity. The pace puts iOS 13 approximately on par with iOS 12 adoption last year which hit 53% of active devices in a slightly shorter timeframe and a different device breakdown.
This year, Apple has broken down the stats between both iOS 13 and iPadOS which were launched at different times this year. According to Apple, 41% of iPads from the past four years have upgraded to iPadOS, while 33% of all active iPads are on iPadOS.
Meanwhile, here on MacRumors, our analytics show an 84% iOS 13 adoption by our visitors on the same day that Apple measured -- October 15th.

I guess it is a bit of a pain. Probably as closed to being forced while not being forced as possible lol
I'm still on iOS 10.3.3, and will remain so until I either get a new device, or Apple starts supporting 32bit apps in iOS 14.Fess up - who are the holdouts here?😉😁
even with autoupdate off the update re-downloads each time I delete it.... it's haunted!!
I don’t know it. I made it up. As is tradition in these matters
My point was that most users will be perfectly happy with iOS 13 and won’t immediately regret installing it. Reading about bugs on the internet does not reflect the experience of the majority.
A meaningless stat with forced downloads. Publishing this is just self-gratification by Apple.
I have auto—updates turned off. My phone still downloads the update. Sure I can delete it but it just downloads again. Once, deleting didn’t give me my space back and it dl’d again.

My phone auto-upgraded last night. Yesterday I got a pop-up with it wanting to install and I thought I hit a button that would not install it, I believe it said "Later". There were three options and "Later" seemed like the the one to not install it.
Woke up with a new OS last night. This is super scummy by Apple. There is no competition so I can't leave but the last two years of decision making have made me really wish there was a solid competitor.

And those devices would not be figured into any percentage of updates.

But you won't just turn off auto-updates. Makes sense to me. Not. But Entitled gonna be Entitled, I suppose.
Just putting it out here. While I pay attention to people reporting how bad iOS 13 is, and so far it *is* bad, I won't install it because of Reminders. I need Reminders to work on both the iOS device, and on both my Mac, and sync between them. I am not going to install Catalina before next June, if I ever do. So, iOS doesn't get updated either. It's that simple.
I am aware of the remote execution vuln in iOS 12.4.1, that's the only thing that's coloring my decision so far.

Maybe this isn't the right place for this – but does anyone have experience with iOS 13 and earlier Mac OS systems?
I can't go beyond Sierra 10.12.6 and stupidly I didn't think about Apple disabling communication between iOS and Mac OS - Sierra can't read a phone on 13.
Is there any workaround? I now can't sync or backup and it's incredibly frustrating. Thanks!

Yeah, the tvOS beta profile still works to stop update downloads. That's what I've done this time.

There was a device update, didn't that apply to Sierra as well?
Huh? You're severely mistaken if you think there are THAT many Apple developers in existence. Of those 55% who have the update, maybe a half of a percent are dev accounts, and maybe one or two percent more for public betas, but honestly even those are some pretty generous estimates..

Jesus how many horribly outdated apps do you use on a regular basis??
Well, "later" is different from not installing.

If you are entering your passcode in relation to an update alert then you are allowing for it to be installed, either now or later.

Data to show that everyone or even the majority was "forced"?

And how many of them will get updates in 2023, my ber will be less than 55% way less
These stats aren't really related to and aren't there for anything like that.
It's meaningful information for developers to know the breakdown of iOS versions that are in use where their app might be getting installed/used.

I have 7 email accounts, some with thousands of emails in the Mail app, and it just works. I've ran into minor bugs here and there, but nothing that has stopped me from being able to work efficiently.
While sometimes that has happened, in many instances nothing like that is involved.
With the majority being updated...seems like the numbers say pretty much the opposite of that.
It's certainly an interesting way to twist that.
Apple did force the update. On my wife's iphone XS Max, I have disabled auto update. But it force updated itself. In the morning, my wife looked at her phone and said it got updated overnight. Apple is forcing it.
If automatic updates were turned off then some action needed to be been taken by someone using the phone to allow the update to install.
