Read the article again.
He is suing Apple, not for hating iOS7, but for the space the (mandatory!) download takes on his device.
And I do understand his point. If you have an iDevice with limited storage (read: 8GB) every MB counts.
Yes, the article's (and this thread's) title is misleading. Apple is pushing the iOS 7 upgrade to every capable phone the moment it has a chance - once the phone is plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi. The iOS 7 installer is some 3GB in size.
Now just because your iPhone is capable of the upgrade, some users may be perfectly happy with how they use their earlier OS and/or are concerned as to how well
their older device may react to the upgrade. While I have had
few issues with iOS 7 on my iPhone 4, I am also reading of those with less success or satisfaction as a result. Its your phone - make it work for you.
But to force push software to users that is undeletable until installed is simply not on. Its bad enough Apple pushes iOS embedded apps that are 'fluff' or poorly realized, but to demand an entire OS change? No computer company dares try that with their devices, why should it be acceptable in a device with even less storage or user-defined capabilities?
Go for it, say I.
