I just think its ridiculous that Apple is passive-aggresivley forcing people to update to iOS7 by downloading it to people's phones without permission and taking up valuable space even when the user may not want to update.
How come that there is fragmentation?! Prior to the final release of IOS 7, iPad 2 users did not have photo editor filters and square shots! But now on, I'm surprised that those unavailable features were now available in the final release!There is already fragmentation of the platform because not all devices get the latest updates or features of the new OS
i do not think so ,,without jailbreak ur device its not possible ....... we cant downgrade officially in ios device
till date there is no options to going down in ios from apple server ......???????
Well, it seems a bit counterintuitive (if I'm even using the right word), since by allowing the user to revert back to a previous OS or two for a prolonged time, it shows that Apple isn't confident that everybody will like and enjoy the new OS.
As the other person said, if an OS makes a previous device buggy/laggy, a user should have the "choice" to downgrade. Apple gave users a "choice" of colors with the 5c right?
Nobody is asking for custom ROMS and such, just the ability to have a more usable OS of the device in which they bought.
For me, I find nothing of importance in 7, just some fancy colors and icons. I really like my 4s running 6, but I really want a new/different device. At this point, an upgrade to 5c/5s/or future 6 won't happen.
There are a lot of older people that do not see walk-throughs and reviews. All that they see is that an upgrade is available, so they click on it. I think that Apple should hold the previous version open for reinstall for at least two weeks. Don't you test drive a car before you buy it?
I definitely think iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S users should be given the option to downgrade because iOS 7 affected those devices a lot
For Apple I think it might be a PITA to keep up with several versions of iOS and the option of downgrading. If you let people downgrade to iOS 6 then when iOS 8 comes people will want to downgrade to iOS 7 and so on and so on. When would it stop?
Even if I wanted to downgrade to 6 on my iPad there are important apps I use that don't have a 6 version available any longer.
So Apple has to have a system. Once you upgrade you can't go back. It's simple that way for Apple I believe.
The thing is they slightly tainted that by having the ability to download the last compatible version of an app for your version of iOS.
But only if the devs allow that option for their app and many are probably not because it is more of a pain to maintain separate code branches.
