If enough people do that, then no reason that they won't just enable it in 14 too.

Assuming that I was not gaslit by other people, I was under impression that would at least require some change to EULA.

Otherwise it sounds like a nuclear option by Apple, with dire effects.

iOS 14 EULA:

> By using the Apple Software, you agree that Apple may download and install automatic Apple Software Updates onto your Device and your peripheral devices.

> Apple and its licensors reserve the right to change, suspend, remove, or disable access to any Services at any time without notice.

Sure, they could probably push it through into any iOS, but all currently available documents claim it’s a iOS 15 feature and presumably there will be lot’s of new legalese like specifically for those new features.
You're not wrong about Apple's messaging around this. I was specifically responding to your claim that pushing it to iOS 14 would require modifications to the EULA. It would not.
Fair enough.

There are a couple things that are nagging me though: 1) Apple has loads of legalese for each and every feature and 2) it sounds like they could just cut all that down to two points that you cited and be golden.

I definitely see your point and I guess we can leave it at that until a lawyer can explain this...
