Not to threadcrap but my local electric company will give you a free Smart Thermostat and install it for free. I just got the Ecobee 3 installed by SGD&E for free.

Apple needs to ensure the software for a supported older device works well enough. I have a hard time believing iOS 9 performs worse than iOS 8 did so were these people coming from iOS 6 or 7?

"Well enough" is too subjective.

If I have a iPhone 4 and am on iOS 7, then upgrade to iOS 9 and *I* think i's much slower, or I just don't like it, why can't I revert to iOS 7?

Apple has it's reasons for not letting you revert - but there is a clash between what a reasonable consumer might want to do and what Apple wants to do.

All Apple has to do is distribute the software and sign the damn thing. You could have reverted from iOS9 to iOS8 in the first few days that iOS 8 was out. Apple choose to stop that for "reasons."

 Just let people revert any version of iOS that was out when that phone model was released. Add all kinds of "are you sures" and "don't do its" -- but let me do it.

(Waiting for obtuse response about jail-breaking and piracy from someone now.)

1. You weren’t forced to update.

2. Old hardware can’t run new software as fast as new hardware can.

3. These people should be individually fined the full price of their phones for being this stupid.

Or Apple should just allow people to revert to earlier iOS versions.

Make it something where you have to click 6 "I'm sure" buttons, but make it possible.

I could be destructive and reset the entire phone - might even lose contacts in the cloud or backups, but just let it happen. If they click "I'm sure" 6 times then let them revert.

As much as I like my Apple Watch , I'd like it more for $249
