I suspect there are a few experts at almost every Apple Store who'd know how to get into the file system and get rid of that iOS 7 package. I wonder if he asked?
Do you know how to get rid of the iOS 7 that is downloaded onto the phone for those that do not want to update? Anyone else know?
I don't think that method will stop iOS7 from automatically downloading, tho of course it shouldn't automatically install. What you may have confused it with is individual updates for various iTunes apps.
It is wrong to phrase it like that, the App Store since iOS 4 always shown App-Updates (these are not installed on the device itself).
If "he/she" wants to prevent auto-updates "he/she" must go to Settings>iTunes & App Store then unselect Apps button / Updates Button.
To then actually download an App you would click on it within the list shown in Updates, which would then give you the download-ring until
it completes into OPEN.
I have always had my setting not to auto download when connecting to iTunes this was kept when updating my iP 4S to iOS 7 which kept
the settings with Updates turned off for AutoUpdates over Air.
I actually think this is pretty valid and he's not asking for anything crazy. Basically iOS 6 automatically downloaded iOS 7 to the device and there's no way to get rid of the 1 GB file except to install the update, which of course, is optional. What this guy is asking for is a way to remove the file if a user doesn't want to upgrade. Pretty fair really. Also, $50 remuneration is very reasonable. They guy isn't asking for a million dollars here, but want's his 1 GB back.
I think this same guy posts on AI from time to time... ;-)
Hopefully he will win this one - lots of people have exactly the same feeling, particularly since: (a) one is not even able to roll back if so desired; (b) iOS7 installation is just one tap away and doesn't carry any warning or double-confirmation possibility.
But of course, pundits are gonna call me a "troll" for that opinion - what, me worry?
Haha, nope Actually you'd be surprised at how much of an Apple fanatic I am, having converted at least 30 people to Macs/iDevices over the last five years. But yes, pretty much everything post-SJ seems to be going downhill.
Just to be clear (I downloaded the beta, and haven't had any inclination to downgrade), but does Apple force an upgrade to iOS7 and prevent downgrading to iOS6?
Given that there are "adoption rates" published, the former seems (to me) unlikely, and Apple have never previously blocked the latter, so I don't see what grounds this guy has.
If he doesn't like iOS7, just download iOS6 from any number of websites, and revert. Sure, it requires a little bit of savvy, and it'd be helpful if Apple themselves supported it, but it's hardly a major obstacle requiring legal representation.
Oh yeah, name Tim Cook as the defendant because every feature decision is 100% the decision of the CEO.
What a retard.
It is a little more of problem when you have the worlds most valuable company on there, than just a guy from the team. Apple probably should have a button for click to ignore on an update.
Apple really shouldn't auto download iOS 7. I was holding off installing it on my phone, but now it is already on the phone waiting to be installed. By the time I want it, there will probably be a new point update which will also need to be downloaded. To make matters worse is that it used up a gig of my data plan because it thought it had wifi when actually it was my cellular hot spot. That right there cost $10 plus it is using up another gig of my storage space, not that big of a deal since I have a 64GB model but still they just should not do that without your permission. Would I sue over it? - hell no.
I don't understand the hot spot situation. Why would you tether your phone to a hotspot while your phone itself could either connect over cellular or WiFi?
As an. apple loyalist for since 1985, I can tell you I absolutely DESPISE, HATE, CANNTOT EFFIN STAND how Apple stopped us from downgrading.
I buy a new iDevice, want to try the latest OS, maybe it slows down my device ( like my g/s iPad 1 running 5.1.1 ) and it is slow as crahp and I canot even type on it. Sothis IPad is beyond frustrating!
Why oh why do they do this?
I have to deal with jail breaking, Shsh, RedDnow and all that crap that is a pain.
APPLE END THIS FEATURE!,,, IT REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SUCKS! It p/os many huge supporters. And quit dumbing down the system for the lowest, most uneducated user. u s semi-power users are getting the shaft! I do not know Unix commands nor want to, that is why. I,be bought Macs for 28 years, geez!

All hell would break loose if any other company downloaded a huge file that cannot be removed onto a customer's phone without their permission.

I agree. My home internet is an air card connected to a Cradlepoint router. I have no other option other than satellite. I have to plan all upgrades to fit within my monthly 5GB data allowance. I should sue to get my $10 overage back, which coincidentally occurred the same month as the release. Hmmm.
If anyone knows a way to disable this feature, please reply.

Phone 5 is locked and in an international roaming area. The wifi hot spot is unlocked and has a local sim. I have a local unlocked iPhone 4 for calling locally and I use Skype for long distance, international calling. There is no cable service for broadband where I am so all my data comes through the cellular wifi hot spot.

This is an insult to retards (ie those who are truly mentally challenged).

He's always complaining about iOS7
Haha, nope

Tim Cook settles by giving that man 1st Spot outside of Apple store for the next iPhone release!
No wonder America carries burden of 50 % of losers. Deport them all from where their ancestors came from, for America to be a better place
corporate thuggery, free software updates? I don't think that's a definition of corporate thuggery.
I think this guy just wants attention and this is a LOT cheaper than spending hundreds of thousands on a cup of coffee with Tim Cook. :-)
Tell him to get an Android. Then he won't have any updates...
