I did it. [View all]

Turned OFF the automatic update function on my 8yr old iPhone and iPad.

Apple is now pushing some kind of update that promises a “whole new experience.”

Over the years I’ve had all I can stand of “whole new experiences, “ the last one being upgrading my computer to Win11. Fortunately I can turn off the MS CoPilot.
