Was there not a huge storm when iOS 7 came out because they automatically pushed the update?

That was about iOS automatically downloading the update file in the background (and at the time lacking an option to delete it), not automatically installing anything.

Ah okay, thanks for the clarification.

I don't remember that happening to my phone, but it's possible. Prior to iOS 8 Apple says (in these court documents) it is technically feasible to break into your phone anyway.

I know that recent updates download automatically on Wi-Fi, perhaps that was what you're thinking of?

There was the time where they auto-downloaded U2's album into everyone's iPhone..
