Though there should be a way to delete the downloaded update, folks are better off upgrading if their devices are supported. Over the next several months, most apps will require iOS 7.
Uh, no. Music in iOS 7 is a travesty. If you have a huge collection along with iTunes Match, you now have to scroll and scroll and scroll to get to the latest album of an artist for which you have a lot of albums. It's completely ridiculous.
This worked SO much better in iOS 6, and I regret updating my 5 because of it.
inb4 "search for music". Eat me. I don't browse that way.
I think you misunderstood what I was replying to. I was saying I doubt that a user that is not allowed to upgrade due to the phone being company owned would be having space constraints as I doubt that user would have much freedom in installing apps and media.
It's like Windows 8. Updating all the time without telling me, then forcing me to restart whether I want ot or not.
The auto download will occur if the 700-900 MB space is free and you are both connected to WiFi and have the device charging or 51% or higher battery install however should NOT occur until you choose it cause you have 2 agree to terms! The 1-3.5 GB of space is only needed temorarily for the install to process and excess space is reclaimed after full successful install
Many carriers already offer or are working on early upgrade programs or alternatives plus there are many options out there to sell or trade in your old device towards getting something newer! Lastly there's eBay and Amazon
No one said ya need to upgrade every year plus we're talking FREE software here that's not really taking as much space as these whiners think! Plus as has been said 700 MB or even 3.5 GB is not much on a 16GB 32GB or 64GB device
Yeah I just dont see the need for third party apps either, changes frighten me
I don't see why.. You also don't know what you're missing! Also change is a part of life
Good luck with that... Can you even find the iPhone 1 anywhere anymore much less can it function?
Yet you , and others especially the hard core fans still stay not that I'm complaining I'm all for more Apple fans or iUsers especially ones using up to date products/devices/software etc. and fewer junk Android, Windows or Blackberry users
Assuming they do that though I see it in the category of not very likely
Agreed and true
Vegetables are good for you. j/k
But on topic. The people that don't like iOS7 were not forced to update.
My iPhone4 is running better with iOS7.
----------
Updated an iPhone4 and I am not having any issues. My kids think it is running faster.
If someone doesn't want to update their device to iOS 7 they shouldn't have to. I guess the automatic download is one of those compromises where it's convenient for most people, but produces unexpected results for people that aren't using the device as intended.
Yay, let's all jump on the Jony Ive train, full of frosted glass, flatness, and a design that I would expect from junior graphic designers.
consider this post a direct complaint to Apple over this "updategate". Doing everything to research this and prevent it.

I was backing up your statement.
Yet again my awful sense of humour backfired!
When faced with a pile of dung and enough people warning you to steer clear, just how much of it are you prepared to ingest and for how long before you finally realise you are eating dung? Well?
iOS7 = Emperor's New Clothes.
Some of us can spot a dud a mile off; others will go on convincing themselves that it really is fantastic, much faster on their iPhone 4. Because there is no way back now.
I'm shocked iTunes Match works for you at all. I have been unable to synch playlists at all since the upgrade on my iPhone 5 or iPad 4. Working fine on my two macs though.
Ugly. Clown colors. Cheapen the whole look. Love the phone. Hate the UI.

Amen. Nice to see someone with some sense and the ability to think for themselves. UI=Yuck

I do not want iOS 7 in iPhone 4 at all!
I don't think it is that simple Parasprite.
I didn't want to upgrade to iOS 7 either, altough it had been downloaded to iPhone 4, som days ago. Today, the screen was black.
At first, I thought it was discharged. I then connected it to the Mac and Apple's logo appeared and then... disappeared. I pressed the home button, launching iTunes, which said that the iPhone was in recovery mode and that it had to restored, and loose everything as in youtoys7's wife's case.
Oh... and I absolutely did not hit install.
Is it just me or Apple is forcing the iOS 7 update?
It really seems to be the case.
I came to the forums today, precisely to see if this had happened to anyone.
It did!
Anyway, bottom line is, I do not want a machine out of my control, but one that I control.
My wife's 4s got upgraded with out her permission, and went to reboot and said connect to iTunes
Everything was lost as she doesn't do updates or wants to, she just wants to have the phone to use, she was Not happy at all!!!

Personally, I love iOS 7 but I agree that an upgrade should be optional for those who wish to stay on iOS 6. And although it's true you're not forced to upgrade, you end up losing 3gb of space because of the automatic download of the new firmware. There should be a switch to disallow automatic downloads of firmware for those who do not want to update.
Okay, cool. You wouldn't mind giving me 20-odd percent of your salary each month then? "It's not much".
That's fine. But they didn't steal enough.
----------
I'm confused, could you explain? In iOS6, you also have to scroll to go through a long list, or Search. What's different?
Which part was too difficult to understand?
The topic reads:
"iOS 6 Users Expressing Discontent Over Automatic iOS 7 Over-the-Air Downloads"
It is not about forced to update, but forced to download the update on the phone without any methods to remove the update to retrieve the space eaten up by it.
