Apple's iOS 17 software update is now out and available to the general
public for download. The latest iPhone OS has several new features,
including full-screen contact posters during phone calls, an improved
and more personalized autocorrect, swipe to reply in text messages, interactive widgets, and so much more.
While most of these features are welcome, if you're like me, you may
not LOVE every single new offering from iOS 17. Sometimes I don't want change, especially when it's drastic, because I get used to the way of
doing certain things.

upgrading to ios 17 is *optional*. if you don't like the new features,
then don't upgrade to it.
How is it optional? Wonąt everyone have to upgrade to it eventually to maintain software support?

How is it optional? Wonąt everyone have to upgrade to it

nope. there is no requirement to upgrade nor is it forced. when it
asks to confirm the upgrade, decline it. you can remain at whatever
version you want. ios developers have multiple devices with various
older versions for testing (which is annoying but that's how it is).
The article is for those who find annoying features AFTER upgrading
with no method to downgrade.

Based on Apple's policies, in about 6 years everyone will have had to
upgrade to iOS 17.
SIX YEARS

you can downgrade for about a week or two after the official release
date (which means months for beta users).
or you can defer upgrading until the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Also, it's not like with Microsoft Windows where you can downgrade after upgrading if you don't like the new version.

I updated my work iPhone 11 to iOS 17. I do not see where I can
uninstall the new operating system. Care to show us rather than just
say nope?

Clearly not true. iOS 14 hasn't had an update in nearly two years whereas
15 and 16 have had several. If you want a fully patched ios, it needs to be the most recent or next most recent for a short time.
Also, it's not like with Microsoft Windows where you can downgrade after
upgrading if you don't like the new version.
false.
How is it optional? Won˘t everyone have to upgrade to it eventually to

If you want to maintain OS support after iOS 16 is no longer being
supported, then yes, but that's years away.
Also, it's not like with Microsoft Windows where you can downgrade after upgrading if you don't like the new version.

there's this thing called a search engine. guess what it does when you
query for downgrade ios 17 to 16.
this works, even though it's about beta versions: <https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/downgrade-from-ios-17-to-ios-17/> <https://www.tomsguide.com/how-to/how-to-downgrade-from-ios-17-beta-back- to-ios-16>

*It's not only iOS that nospam is completely ignorant about*
With Windows, for example, you could install Windows 11 today, and then, tomorrow you could wipe the disk clean and install Windows 10 all over.

your choice, but that's how to downgrade. you might be able to go to an
apple store and 'borrow' a mac there.
Iąm amazed how the release of iOS 17 can generate such cantankerous
threads. I got it and havenąt run into any deal breakers yet. The battery
may have drained a little faster today. Nothing major.

Hi Jolly Roger,
*You low-IQ ignorant iKooks _lied for years_ about Apple support*
FACT:
As of the 18th, iOS 16 is no longer supported for full hotfix support.
