It's not really a choice when if you want to stay with iOS 6 let's say you basically can do that at the cost of living with a rather big security hole and FaceTime that no longer works suddenly, all because Apple themselves caused it.
Like what? Microsoft only just stopped supporting XP after extending it a few times and many years since it released Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. And even after that when a serious security issue was found Microsoft still decided to fix the issue for XP users even though it had already stopped supporting it. The analogy is working well completely against what you are trying to argue.
It already changed in iOS 7.1 where you can at least delete the automatically downloaded update. After all these years clearly something prompted that. Another difference as I pointed out is that there wasn't some big security issue that then also broke other services (like FaceTime) and the only way to get your device secure and back in full working order would be to upgrade to the next version--that wasn't there when comparing iOS 5 to iOS 6 upgrade, for example.
iOS 7 has a really nice flow. From opening apps to sliding across menus and tabs. The bigger font sizes add a lot to the perceived clunkiness of iOS 6. I also like that they ditched those awfully cheesy message tones (the cartoony ones) in favour of some more ‘authentic’ and tranquil ones.
As a matter of fact, I switched to BlackBerry 10. It has a lot of these things that were lost with iOS 7 and it has proved to be a good substitute for my iPhone, although the app gap is still something that would turn people away. Unfortunately, there are some design changes coming there too, the flat design is spreading everywhere.
I’m anxious about OS X. Whatever will be released this year will be the OS of my next MacBook, probably next year. While you can downgrade your OS, you cannot downgrade to a lower version that your Mac shipped with. If version 10.10 brings too much of iOS 7 to OS X, I will be really unhappy about it. The problem is that I have developed an intense dislike against Windows and Linux just isn’t able to cover my needs, not even remotely.
The absurd part is the part that anyone would think that something like that is right and ethical and perfectly fine just because Apple puts in in some huge contract. This isn't a constitutional law--and even those have been challenged and amended--so it certainly doesn't mean that it truly would mean any of that if perhaps it was actually truly challenged.
These might not be necessarily fair either as they generally cater to a particular group of people who might not necessarily represent the majority of typical iOS users who would never even know about any of these sites or apps with polls. I'm not saying that the majority of people do or don't like it, but given all the different variables in play there isn't any particular thing out there that can truly definitely say it's completely (or close enough to it) one way or the other. Many people can and do like it, and many people don't for one reason or another. Even if one group is larger than the other it doesn't necessarily take away or undermine many of the valid points that either of the groups might have.
Well the poll here would be somewhat biased too since even with various people complaining the overall majority here are Apple fans and most will support Apple in more cases than many others who aren't necessarily Apple fans. So I would say it's certainly not conclusive of much factoring things of that nature in. But, again, I'm not saying it's the other way around either. Just that many of these (and really a lot of different) polls aren't actually conclusive given the various variables in play.
And the point I'm making that while it is, it can and perhaps should be challenged. I'm not saying that you shouldn't bring up that fact, but by same respect it means that the fact that something like EULA can be challenged and has been successfully in various regions and times in the past can be brought up in conjunction in all those instances as well.
