>The difference is, iOS asks. You can say no.

Yeah, and then it asks again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.. and again....

I finally got around to updating my iPhone and iPad and I also found those endless nags very, very off-putting. But what MS has done is much worse, with their upgrade-by-deception tactics. I've lost all interest in Windows 10, not that I had much to begin with.
I have realized that these people are incompetent and can't be trusted with updates. I've neutered the update on my iphone 6s and my W10 desktop and couldn't be happier. Like I had a 4 month uptime on my W10 install till I had to install a driver for my oculus and reboot.
No, it doesn't. I'm running iOS 9.0 on my iPhone, because that's the last jailbroken version. My phone NEVER nags me to upgrade. NEVER.

Now if I plug it into my computer and run iTunes, iTunes does ask. But I don't do that very often, as there's no reason to plug your phone into a computer these days.

I don't believe a single word you said, and neither does anyone else.

My iPad 3 nags me to install the latest iOS update every single time I unlock it.
That's when you upgrade. There's no reason to stay on an older iOS.

Yeah, sure buddy.. I learnt my lesson when my 4S turned into a laggy POS after updating the OS. I was forced to sell it off because it became super slow. Never going to trust Apple again.

Except when the upgrades come with more nagging for Apple services.
Tell my iPad 2 that.
My iPad 2 should talk to yours. It's happy with iOS 9, if a bit slow compared to my Air 2.
