Apple uses dark patterns to trick you into updating. Not to mention that if you accidentally do update, they purposely make it impossible to go back to the factory state. Updating would be no issue if they were beneficial, and most of them usually are. However, once you're 1-2 years in, newer firmware slows down the device, and can also cause apps you paid good money for, to stop working, or be rendered incompatible. In other cases, the only way fix a messed up ios device is to do a full system reset and guess what, you're forced by apple to use the latest firmware. Its a complete shitshow as far as I am concerned.
