Meh. Everything works for me just fine in 14, the few interesting features I saw in 15 aren't available yet, so why upgrade?

Some of the fundamental security updates they have offered would be one reason.

It was NEVER pushed. We always had a choice of updating or not. When upgrading to a major release of iOS you either manually cycled through the download process and clicked the acceptance and provided your passcode OR you previously granted permissions for your iphone to automatically download new updates, again cycling through the process and providing your passcode.

It was never pushed. You always had a choice.

Agreed, unless you are buying new from Apple, in which case you get the most recent software version.

I have not yet updated my 12 Pro Max. Still at iOS 14.4. Had excessive standby battery drain issues from day one which thankfully got resolved with 14.4. Apple should pay attention to quality of the software

You missed the sweet spot - should’ve made sure to update to the latest iOS 14 version the day before iOS 15 was officially released.

ah yes, the unannounced sweet spot. easy to say in hindsight but how was anyone supposed to know this when apple simply says:

Or continue on iOS 14 and still get important security updates.

www.apple.com

iOS 18

iOS 18 makes iPhone even more personal, with deeper customization, new ways to connect, easier-to-find photos, and support for Apple Intelligence.
www.apple.com

iOS 14.4 certainly falls under the umbrella of "continuing on iOS 14" to me.

not to mention getting a refurb device which missed this sweet spot, leaving the user SOL.

My thought process was that, since this was never done before, the safest thing to do was to make sure I was on the latest version of iOS 14. Even if the extended support was never announced, I could hold off upgrading until iOS 15 reached the same level of stability as 14.

I don't disagree, but you had to "guess" at how to proceed based on apple's unannounced support strategy. not everyone keeps up with this stuff as much as some of us do.

and again, this is moot if you received a refurb replacement on iOS 14.4 after this "end" date, as others here have experienced.
