Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Christopher, Thanks for speaking up. I wasn't sure if I should say anything or not. This discussion is not pointless as you said. We do have have a few points here: - Apple pushes in data without permission, - The data pushed in to us wastes enormous space that we paid for, - The data pushed to us uses resources of connection traffic, - The data cannot be deleted, - if you do agree to install it (usually because you want to try it and thinking you got the best iOS that could ever have on your device) you cannot roll it back. - If you do want to restore a machine to factory iOS you really can't stay that way. You have to update and you also to update till iOS 6.1.3, and you cannot choose that ever again at all, What else? Are these things pointless?

Hi Pablo, I don't want to dispute that an iPhone 4 is slower with iOS 7, however, you described that it takes 22 seconds or whatever the number was for the Settings app to open and there is just no way that this is normal behavior. If your iPhone 4 is that slow and you plan to keep it around, then a complete restore to factory settings and setting it up as a new device is what I would do. It won't turn it into a 4S or a 5, but I would bet that it will improve. I can only say that my 4S runs perfectly well with iOS 7 and if I wasn't such a geek and in a position to treat myself to a new unlocked iPhone I would not upgrade. I am pretty sure I'll enjoy using Touch ID and I'll probably feel safer for using it, I know I'll be able to take nicer pictures and maybe OCR/object recognition will be better and I know it will be faster than my 4S, but I am also pretty sure that it's probably a good idea not to set my expectations too high when it comes to just normal day-to-day use like making phone calls, checking email and using routine apps I use a lot like Audible, my weather app, my Netatmo weather station app, Downcast etc. We don't even have LTE yet where I live so it's not even like I'll be awed by super high download speeds or a noticeable improvement with Skype or other VoIP apps due to the faster upload and download speed.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Pablo, Thank you for sharing the experiences you gathered from others. I saw this problem on my iPhone 4S, roommate's iphone 4, my iPad 3. Right now typing this email on my iPhone 4s. It freezes every few now and then when I switched to check an incoming text now. I came back I typed and the letters didn't show up while 'typing' them, only after typing a while it all came after. Major delay. I also own an iPod Touch 5, which I did not update. It works much faster than anything I got here since the update. Even the iPad3 that use to be faster is now slower. Apple did send in the Update file which I am NOT installing. What right does Apple have to send it to me with my agreeing to it, and occupying about 3GB? There is no way to delete it.

Yep. I also have an iPhone 4, that I updated to iOS 7. I didn’t really notice a slow down, but since I was low on space on my 16GB (I have lots of music), I took the chance to upgrade to a 4S. It’s also working fine. Again, there is ONE feature iOS 7 has that iOS 6 didn’t, and it’s really nice, and that’s system wide bold text. Yes, 56 pt on iOS 6 was nice, but even better bolded on iOS 7.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Well this issue changes by the day. Even on 1% battery, without charger, my iPhone 4S is trying to download iOS7.02. . Hey, letting you know that there is a download for an upgrade is one thing, but actually downloading it to your device without your permission is much worse, and Thhhats what we are talking about. On my itouch 5 it got completely downloaded (not installed) and occupied between one and three gigabyte of my expensive space. There is no way to delete it. But just putting a red badge that is an update available and you can download it, isn't so terrible.

RE: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
I agree with Christopher that iOS 7 on a 4S is a very good experience (apart from the few bugs we also had to deal with in iOS 5 and iOS 6). I don't see any sluggishness. I can't speak for an iPhone 4 except that I know 4 people and I mean I know them personally and spoke with them about it who are sighted and still use the iPhone 4 and all of them say iOS 7 works well on their iPhone 4. I think if somebody has serious issues with sluggishness that this is not normal behavior and they should restore the phone using iTunes and set it up as a new phone. I know this is a bit of work, but the few times I had issues with my 4 some years ago and my 4S doing that fixed everything quite nicely. I also expect that when iOS 7.1 comes out many bugs and issues will just go away just as they always have.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Have you tried turning phone 4s off and back on or even resetting with home button and wake/sleep? I find no sluggishness in my 4s, only the sensitivity, and turning off the IOs sounds seems to have helped that. Try emptying the app switcher too. No, Apple definitely should not be putting it on the phone, but the IOS itself is definitely not that bad. Looking forward to getting a bigger phone when I can, though.reggie and Allegra On Oct 7, 2013, at 1:15 AM, glazingfr...@gmail.com glazingfr...@gmail.com wrote: Another problem with iOS 7 update to iPhone 4/s.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Yesterday, after I read the Cara's email, I took my home phone, and I called apple again. Surprise. They know, tech support, accessibility, and customer care, that IOs 7 makes iPhone 4 very slow. So it is not a unique condition in one phone. As I said before, apple is receiving hundreds of calls every day reporting this problem. The guy of accessibility, told me that that problem is common in the iPhone 4 with IOs 7. Could be that for the people who use iPhone 4, with IOs 7, is because the use that they do is just calls and texting, but no a lot of things. - Original Message - From: Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com To: viphone viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, October 07, 2013 3:34 PM Subject: Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.

RE: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hi Pablo, I don't want to dispute that an iPhone 4 is slower with iOS 7, however, you described that it takes 22 seconds or whatever the number was for the Settings app to open and there is just no way that this is normal behavior. If your iPhone 4 is that slow and you plan to keep it around, then a complete restore to factory settings and setting it up as a new device is what I would do. It won't turn it into a 4S or a 5, but I would bet that it will improve. I can only say that my 4S runs perfectly well with iOS 7 and if I wasn't such a geek and in a position to treat myself to a new unlocked iPhone I would not upgrade. I am pretty sure I'll enjoy using Touch ID and I'll probably feel safer for using it, I know I'll be able to take nicer pictures and maybe OCR/object recognition will be better and I know it will be faster than my 4S, but I am also pretty sure that it's probably a good idea not to set my expectations too high when it comes to just normal day-to-day use like making phone calls, checking email and using routine apps I use a lot like Audible, my weather app, my Netatmo weather station app, Downcast etc. We don't even have LTE yet where I live so it's not even like I'll be awed by super high download speeds or a noticeable improvement with Skype or other VoIP apps due to the faster upload and download speed.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Sorry but this is getting old. People have suggested restoring or doing other things to phones that are slow. Instead of trying this others just want to continue complaining. As I've said a few times I have a 4 which although a bit slow still works fine with 7.2 and it's only 8gb. It was also slow with IOS 6.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Eileen, My problem is that it wastes about 3 giga bytes of space on my precious expensive iOS device. I paid money for space to be used by me and not by Apple pushing in a download that I want do delete and there is no way for me to delete it. Don't you get it?

When all of the noise about this supposed gliche started to circulate, everyone was afraid to charge their phone or plug it in to the computer of feaar that iOS 7 would upgrade one's device. Fortunately, this is not the case. Just think about what kind of trouble Apple would be in if iOS 7 was automatically installed on the device. Just yesterday, I plugged my iPhone 4 into the computer. I received the usual popup that iTunes will give when there is an upgrade. Of course, I press thecancel button and I was placed in the main screen of iTunes with no harm done. What surprise me more was that that this activated the popup on the phone. I was given 2 options: to download or to cancel. You can guess what I tapped on. Raul is correct that this feature has been on the iOS platform for a while andon this phone since 6.1.2 because I have been on the fence about jailbreaking as soon as I replace it with a new one. Well, it's taken so long that it's part of the settings announcement. So for those who are getting stressed out about this, just relax. No one is forcing you to upgrade. Apple can't afford anymore litigation and bad publicity. JMO. Eileen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Exactly this issue in this topic brought me here. My iPhone I did update on purpose, but my itouch5 I decided should stick with iOS 6.1.3. I like the colors and rich graphics in it. Whatever my reason is, that's what I decided to do. I use my itouch more for pictures and other things. At some point a message came up telling me that my data reached the 64gb limit (not in that exact quote, but.. that's a what it basically meant to say). So I decided to delete Podcast and all its contents.. I gained 3 GBs.. I plugged in this iTouch and let it charge. I pick it up I see it has a red badge with a 1 within the Setting icon. I check it it out and it says INSTALL NOW. What the hay! Why did it download itself and now occupy my e regained space?

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Can you explain, how does the network status define either you are downloading something or not. What i know or my understanding thru the network status is it moves according to the 3g signal you have and have nothing to do with either you are downloading something or not downloading anything. And, when you turn airplay onn, everything involve in connection is off. that include bluetooth, wifi, 3g, phone, and everything else. Joanne Chua The flip side of Inclusion is Exclusion.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hi, I know this doesn't apply to everyone, but if you are on iOS 6 and you are jailbroken, there is a tweak called SoftwareUpdateKiller and guess what? It prevents software updates from getting forced on you in case you feel they are doing that. So far it's worked nicely. I upgraded my iPad mini, but am waiting on the iPhone. -- Raul A.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
OK fair enough, but you people, and by that statement, I mean the people who are complaining about this, are not realizing that this isn't something new. This has been going on since iOS 5. So, why the fuss now all of a sudden? Also, this isn't something targeting blind people specifically like I've seen some list members insinuate. This happens for everyone. I don't like it either if I don't have a choice, but I will say that on the flip side it's saved money too. Just this past weekend I went to a client's home to do some equipment maintenance for him. He had an iPad mini and a laptop which needed work. At first I thought I would be spending a lot more time on the laptop while the update downloaded and then installed. However because it had already been downloaded, the upgrade of his ipad took a lot less. Over all it saved everyone a lot of time. So it does have it's positive side as well, and again, this isn't new with iOS 7. -- Raul A.

One of the things that Apple used to pride itself on his it just works. Given what I've heard about iOS 7 and voiceover, I don't think they're living up to their reputation. We pay a lot more for this hardware and put up with the walled garden because it is supposed to offer a superior experience. This is not an example of a superior experience.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
HELLO All, When viewing this thread, I realized that only my name was pasted to it. So here goes again. When all of the noise about this supposed gliche started to circulate, everyone was afraid to charge their phone or plug it in to the computer of feaar that iOS 7 would upgrade one's device. Fortunately, this is not the case. Just think about what kind of trouble Apple would be in if iOS 7 was automatically installed on the device. Just yesterday, I plugged my iPhone 4 into the computer. I received the usual popup that iTunes will give when there is an upgrade. Of course, I press thecancel button and I was placed in the main screen of iTunes with no harm done. What surprise me more was that that this activated the popup on the phone. I was given 2 options: to download or to cancel. You can guess what I tapped on. Raul is correct that this feature has been on the iOS platform for a while andon this phone since 6.1.2 because I have been on the fence about jailbreaking as soon as I replace it with a new one. Well, it's taken so long that it's part of the settings announcement. So for those who are getting stressed out about this, just relax. No one is forcing you to upgrade. Apple can't afford anymore litigation and bad publicity. JMO.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
I can confirm the same expedience on my iPhone five. I was offered an upgrade which I rejected. I am still using the order version on my iPhone five.

So here goes again. When all of the noise about this supposed gliche started to circulate, everyone was afraid to charge their phone or plug it in to the computer of feaar that iOS 7 would upgrade one's device. Fortunately, this is not the case. Just think about what kind of trouble Apple would be in if iOS 7 was automatically installed on the device. Just yesterday, I plugged my iPhone 4 into the computer. I received the usual popup that iTunes will give when there is an upgrade. Of course, I press thecancel button and I was placed in the main screen of iTunes with no harm done. What surprise me more was that that this activated the popup on the phone. I was given 2 options: to download or to cancel. You can guess what I tapped on. Raul is correct that this feature has been on the iOS platform for a while andon this phone since 6.1.2 because I have been on the fence about jailbreaking as soon as I replace it with a new one. Well, it's taken so long that it's part of the settings announcement. So for those who are getting stressed out about this, just relax. No one is forcing you to upgrade. Apple can't afford anymore litigation and bad publicity. JMO.

Hi, That Apple is downloading unwanted software on your phone is a fact. Wrong, I agree with you but you mention that the next thing is that they will install it.

Just out of curiocity, how do you know it's trying to download when airplane mode is on and when you are only on 3G, how do you know it is in fact downloading? I just don't see how it can download on 3G when there is a 50 Mb download limit, i.e. if you ever tried to download an audio book or podcast that was larger than 50 Mb via 3G it will not let you.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
I think this is true, but I don't think it's absurd. In a lot of ways, you could say that Apple created the market for MP3 players and smart phones. I think that's just capitalism. Come up with a good idea and see if you can sell it to someone. No one had to buy an iPhone 5C or 5s. Sure Apple is pushing IOS 7, but they aren't making money on it,unless of course people are buying music through iTunes Radio, but that's another market Apple is getting into. Of course it's about profit. Apple, and most companies, are looking to make a profit. I think Apple would be in trouble if they just kept selling the iPhone 4S with IOS 5 on it. It isn't like Google and Samsung aren't coming out with new phones and new features in their products.

Hi There, you say, in regard to bugs, on any device. Our job is to find them and report them to Apple Accessibility right away. Actually it's not. People who are not beta testers do not deserve to be treated as such. this trend toward effectively making the general user population into free beta testers is at best, lazy and disgraceful and disrespectful. Make no mistake, this is not an Apple issue per se, but a more generalized software paradigm that I find absolutely abhorrent Unfortunately, the general public either does not know ways they can change this or cannot escape the need or technology addiction to send a message that this is not acceptable to them. So for us, no, this is not our job. However, I think you meant something a bit differently from the way I took it. :) Since we are users of this software, yes, we should take every opportunity to make our voices heard and voice clearly and positively what we need and / or want. I say positively, because having our voices heard is not only a right but a privilege. So be civil, make it count, and treat people with respect. Apple has gone out of their way to make giving feedback easy and available to us so use it and thank the people you come into contact with. I think they'll be glad you did and it will surely make them happy to pass your needs and desires along to the right folks. Just my three cents. :) Smiles and happy weekend to y'all, Cara :) On Sep 28, 2013, at 1:07 AM, BBS bigbigshawn@gmail.com mailto:bigbigshawn@gmail.com wrote: on any device.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
In physical product manufacturing, there is always an expected failure rate. All products go through changes and updates during their life cycles. The difference with software nowadays is it can be modified and updated much more easily and efficiently compared with both the past, and compared with physical devices. And, we are not yet even addressing accessibility for a population which is, in total, less than 0.6% of the entire population.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
I worked in sales, and in business management, for several years, both in the accessibility arena, and in general market technology. In my experience, many products in almost every market are released before all of their design flaws have been worked out. In fact, it is an impossibility to find, not to mention solve, each and every design flaw. When a few people get upset, companies quietly replace products or refund money. When large numbers of consumers become upset, smaller companies go out of business, whilst larger companies close or sell specific devisions. In product management, it is necessary for managers to determine when a product must be cancelled because developmental costs are about to exceed potential projected income. At that point, the decision must be made as to the viability of the product with all its known flaws. Also, it is essential to calculate so many percentage for the unknown flaws which will not be discovered until the product reaches the marketplace, and this happens with every product.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hi: I wonder if the tip about making the app store manual would be usable to stop IOS-7 from downloading automatically? I set the app store so I could download manually. When I checked my IOS updates in settings, sitting in the slot was IOS-7.2. I had to manually ask it to download. NOW, figuring these two things do not have anything to do with each other, but I was able to make the decision if I wanted 7.02. Actually feel it fixed some minor bugs, at least on my phone so happy I made the upgrade. If they are truly pushing without knowledge of the user, in my opinion, this is wrong. Microsoft doesn't just upgrade Windows to 7 or 8 automatically! If they put me on Win-8, I'd throw a tantrum!

I reckon the key words in David's post are : locked, plugged in, and on a wifi network, though I am not sure about the locked point, as I found the phone downloading when not locked. But I definitely found that it won't download if the unit is (a) not on power or (b) not on WiFi. So the simple way to prevent the download altogether is to turn Wifi off when charging. I also noticed that the download started from scratch after I powered the phone off and on again, which suggests it is removed by powering off, though I didn't check the phone capacity to confirm this. That may provide a way to save space for those of you with less capacity. Slán.

RE: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hi all This is done everywhere in industry. Cars have to come out when they have to and are released with known bugs. A recall is cheaper than not having the product come out on time because a delay could cause customers to go to a competitor and also, a lot of people don't bother to bring in their car or appliance. Its just that in this industry, they have the advantage of being able to fix things cheaply and conveniently. Having said that, I agree with cara that it is being taken advantage of on the backs of the loyal consumers but we have to agree that every industry does it and not only software. We have to say that Apple hardware is of good quality, not many of us have to bring the product back, the hardware and software come out on time as announced preventing people from going to a competitor and software is repaired and sent to us in a reasonable time period so, in the end, it's a question of marketing and it seems to me like Apple have some of the best in that field. They know what they can get away with and they do it and we play their game. For as long as we play their game and become their unpaid employees, they will keep on doing it until the market shows that it no longer works and that's not about to happen in any predictable future.

And Cars need a higher level of tolerance because well, you can die or kill others. And even then, cars are released with features knowingly not ready, and they tell you to come into the dealership to have the feature fixed. I think if you wait for every bug to be squashed in an OS, we would probably still be using Windows 95, and no new features would be added because, new features cause more bugs.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Sadly, we can stop app updates but not dowloads of system updates.

But I definitely found that it won't download if the unit is (a) not on power or (b) not on WiFi. So the simple way to prevent the download altogether is to turn Wifi off when charging. I also noticed that the download started from scratch after I powered the phone off and on again, which suggests it is removed by powering off, though I didn't check the phone capacity to confirm this.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Having investigated a bit further: 1. To avoid the download completely, turn off Wifi when connecting the charger (locked/unlocked is irrelevant as far as I can tell, without more tests and wasting of space); 2. To restore any space taken by the download, I reckon we should await the next iOS7 update, start the download, let it switch to the new update, which it will start from scratch, and then disconnect the power to stop it, which seems to be what happened with me yesterday. I reckon it had previously more or less finished downloading 7.0, but on resuming, it started from scratch with 7.02, and I am assuming it deleted the iOS7.0 download.

Considering that this feature has been in place since iOS 5, I am surprised by the vitriolic responses.

They could be in a place with a satellite or other expensive connection and not want to download such a large file. This would be particularly nasty if the connection charged by the megabyte. They could have their disk nearly full and need to keep space open. They could have an older device which they don't want to upgrade though Apple says it can be upgraded. They could have an unstable network which may not like having large files downloaded over it. They could have a network which is constantly in use and is, therefore, very slow for downloads of large files. They could be avoiding the update because they like jailbroken devices.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
The download in the background feature isn't a problem for me. I limit the phones data to available wi-fi only. What pisses me off is that itunes won't go away when I plug the phone into my macbook. It pops up a dialog asking if I want to update my iPhone. I check the box don't ask again and then choose the later button (there is no don't install button). Then I quit iTunes only to have it restart the application 2 minutes later and ask me to update my phone. That wouldn't be so bad IF iTunes wouldn't grab focus and interrupt what I am doing in the current app. I quit iTunes again only to have it repeat the above. That is unacceptable application behavior. This started happening after the latest update of iTunes. So…….

For those who have not owned an IOS device since the release of IOS 5 of course would not have any knowledge of how upgrades are handled. I think a bit of a surprise is normal, but I also think the rage posted on here is not normal since the upgrade does nothing to interfere with daily use of an iDevice. Just my opinion, ok?

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Ok, I wasn't aware of the download happening automagically. I can live with that, as I have plenty of room, and it's actually a moot point for me in particular, as I've already installed. I think the word forced in the subject line of this thread gave this topic a bit of an emotional spin.

In your phone settings in Itunes, there's a setting to open Itunes when you plug it in. You can switch this off. I'm not quite sure where this setting is; either in the device scroll area or preferences for the desktop version..

I check the box don't ask again and then choose the later button (there is no don't install button). Then I quit iTunes only to have it restart the application 2 minutes later and ask me to update my phone. That wouldn't be so bad IF iTunes wouldn't grab focus and interrupt what I am doing in the current app. I quit iTunes again only to have it repeat the above. That is unacceptable application behavior. This started happening after the latest update of iTunes. So…….

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
It's kinda stupid that all I'm reading on this list is people crying about Apple forcing people to upgrade to iOS7. Get over it. Seriously! If you don't like how Apple does things, then go to Android. As for me, I love iOS7 and I haven't ran into any of the bugs that people speak of on this list. My Voiceover runs smoothly, I love the new Siri voices although I wish we could use them with Voiceover, and I like how Voiceover is using the new Vocalizer Expressive engine. I love iOS 7 and when Mavericks comes out next month for my Mac I'll probably upgrade that too unless the rumors are true that I need 8 gigs of ram for it to run properly. And I know there will be bugs with that OS but I'm not scared of bugs. Somewhat annoyed, but not scared. I think what I'm trying to say is that there will be bugs on any OS on any device.

Turning off iTunes when Connecting Device, Was Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Ok, I'm using a Mac, so not sure if your mileage will vary. It's in the summary tab of the ipod area in devices in the source list.

David, in the first post about IOS-7, I thought Apple was just pushing it into the phone. I then went and checked and 7.02 was sitting there. That is when I understood. Yes, do not know how long they have been doing this, but I recognized what was going on. Actually quite a good thing in my opinion. You either take it or leave it.

Hi There, you say, in regard to bugs, on any device. Our job is to find them and report them to Apple Accessibility right away. Actually it's not. People who are not beta testers do not deserve to be treated as such. this trend toward effectively making the general user population into free beta testers is at best, lazy and disgraceful and disrespectful. Make no mistake, this is not an Apple issue per se, but a more generalized software paradigm that I find absolutely abhorrent Unfortunately, the general public either does not know ways they can change this or cannot escape the need or technology addiction to send a message that this is not acceptable to them. So for us, no, this is not our job. However, I think you meant something a bit differently from the way I took it. :) Since we are users of this software, yes, we should take every opportunity to make our voices heard and voice clearly and positively what we need and / or want. I say positively, because having our voices heard is not only a right but a privilege. So be civil, make it count, and treat people with respect. Apple has gone out of their way to make giving feedback easy and available to us so use it and thank the people you come into contact with. I think they'll be glad you did and it will surely make them happy to pass your needs and desires along to the right folks. Just my three cents. :) Smiles and happy weekend to y'all, Cara :) On Sep 28, 2013, at 1:07 AM, BBS bigbigshawn@gmail.com wrote: on any device.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
For myself, I take this to mean that rather than letting apps go out that had 'allowable issues' the releases would be held until all of the known issues would be fixed, or at least it seemed that way. :) Obviously there will always be situations that will come up that reveal bugs but I do think the emphasis now is on releasing on a schedule rather than releasing after all known issues are taken care of.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Testers, both internal and beta, are testing right up to the release date. Issues are being reported constantly, and that's even more true for something as complicated as an operating system like IOS. I'm sure Apple is looking at the list of open issues, ranking them by severity, and determining which ones have to be resolved before the release date and which can be resolved later. There's no way Apple, or any company, could get every reported issue at every severity fixed before the release date. I agree things like customer satisfaction is effected when issues are found in the field, but customer satisfaction is also effected by constantly pushing out the release date. Business decisions, like first to market, a big splash with marketing, lining the OS release up with a hardware release and so on, also play into these decisions. I think you're absolutely right that releasing on time is paramount. Apple won't postpone revenue by delaying the release of IOS and a new set of iPhones. I know Apple pushed back their new phone releases from the summer to the fall a few years ago, but I doubt this had to do with issues found in the software.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hi Chris, it's not always true that issues are being reported up to a release date. This depends heavily on the type of software, the complexity of course, as well as the corporate image / culture of the company doing the releasing. I think delaying a release until after a clean QA period is completed is in some sense, a luxury for larger companies but I think it's also a paradigm worth pursuing. This is sort of the crux of what I'm saying. This may seem like a luxury but to me at least, it's a necessity. -Or at least should be viewed as such. It may seem outdated in the kind of environment we're living in right now but I do think it's helpful. Oh, and just to add a bit to my earlier note about the idea of the general user population being adopted as free beta testers, just let me add that, as I've said many times before, the Apple staff who deal with developing VoiceOver and deal with issues with it are (at least in my experience) very passionate about what they do. They will not knowingly let accessibility issues go out unsolved if they can possibly do anything about them. My note was just to say that I feel there is a disturbing trend happening in the general software market. Not saying this is necessarily intentional but I do feel that an early course correction is helpful. :) Again, just my thoughts and thanks for such a great thread!

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
You may be right. All of my experience is with operating systems and firmware. We've always had a QA plan, but with slips in development schedules (both software and hardware) the test or QA schedule is always pushed up against the release date wall. I've never been part of a test team or worked with a test team that didn't want as much time to test the product as possible. The only time I've seen test teams not test right up to the release date and beyond is when they need to move on to the next product. Any issue found in house, even if it's the day after a release, will be cheaper to fix than an issue that gets reported by a customer. Note, this testing done at the very end is not feature testing. It's regression and stress testing. I know it seems like this is a trend, but I actually don't think it's much different now than it was 20 years ago. The tough decisions and the war rooms existed then just as they do today. It is getting harder though as operating systems and products get more and more complicated. The test matrix becomes larger and larger and impossible to cover completely. IMHO, the days of a water fall process, where you can thoroughly test everything weeks before a product is released are behind us. We need to realize how complicated things are to test and come up with new methodologies and technologies to allow us to get products out quickly while still ensuring quality. I think changes like Agile/Lean and Continuous Integration/continuous Deployment (CICD) are steps in the right direction. Unfortunately, this does make customers part of the development and test process, which I know you don't agree with. Hopefully, the trade off though is getting fixes to reported problems out a lot more quickly. I don't mean to argue or disagree with you. My intent is just to offer another opinion and share some of my own experiences. IMHO, it's an interesting and thought provoking discussion.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
I think there's something to what you say, but if you follow some of these applications and apps in the mainstream press and blogosphere, you'll find that sighted people can be pretty demanding as well. I don't think the problem is that developers have us trained like this. I think it's more that accessibility does add another layer of complexity. There's also a fuzzy line between inaccessible, usable and so on. What may be a bug or a point of inaccessibility to one person may just be a different way of getting something done to another.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hello from Dublin. I came upon your helpful discussion after I caught my iPhone downloading iOS7 in the background without my knowledge. I reckon David's information here is the most useful for those of us wanting to prevent the download for now, never mind the update. (I don't want the iOS7 on my phone yet because I find Reminders crashes on my iPad in iOS7 after editing a large entry). I reckon the key words in David's post are : locked, plugged in, and on a wifi network, though I am not sure about the locked point, as I found the phone downloading when not locked. But I definitely found that it won't download if the unit is (a) not on power or (b) not on WiFi. So the simple way to prevent the download altogether is to turn Wifi off when charging. I also noticed that the download started from scratch after I powered the phone off and on again, which suggests it is removed by powering off, though I didn't check the phone capacity to confirm this. That may provide a way to save space for those of you with less capacity. Slán.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hi Cara, I couldn't agree with you more. The notion that it is okay to release software just because it is time is ridiculous. I know of no other segment in the economy we're such sloppiness would be permitted. You are surely correct that this is not just an Apple issue. Microsoft and Google are doing it and have been doing it for a long time. But it doesn't make it right. How would people feel if they bought an oven or a car or refrigerator and found out that some of the supposed features didn't work right? They would take it back to the store. There would be an outcry. But with software? No. You just have to live with it. One of the things about Apple products is that you pay more than you would for an equivalent PC or android device. The idea is that it just works. Can't say that anymore. I have a new Mac with Mountain lion, and I have to say, it is more inconsistent than my old one with Snow Leopard.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
I also think that the cycle of update is more dependent on profit than it is on actual need. They create markets for things that nobody really needs. Instead of fixing bugs and making things more stable, they create a market for something and try to make you wanted. It's absurd. But such is life in the 21st-century where looks are more important than fact on the ground.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Hi, I agree but, I don’t know if comparing a car or kitchen appliance works here. For example, If a feature on your fridge doesn’t work, may tag can’t just push an update to it in 2 weeks to fix the problem. And Cars need a higher level of tolerance because well, you can die or kill others. And even then, cars are released with features knowingly not ready, and they tell you to come into the dealership to have the feature fixed. I think if you wait for every bug to be squashed in an OS, we would probably still be using Windows 95, and no new features would be added because, new features cause more bugs. So then they need to be fixed. And on and on. Like most things in life its a balancing act. Few things are perfect. You just hope the new features out way the inconveniences.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Although my experience is with software, I think this definitely happens in other segments. An auto manufacturer doesn't skip a model year. They're under pressure to get their new model year cars out and out on time. All you have to do is do your research to buy a new car, and you'll find reviews that claim things should have been addressed in one car's model while others are not much of a change from the previous model year. I look at all of the hype surrounding Apple and the release of this new OS and these new phones. I really don't think you'd get this hype if you never had any clue when Apple would release it's new phones or it's new major software update. Companies build their reputation on delivering on their commitments, which includes meeting their release dates and hitting their schedules. Although schedules and release dates are important, quality is also important. I've seen applications and products slipped due to quality issues. I'm sure Apple would have held things up or taken some extreme measures if a bug was found that kept IOS from coming up after an install. On the other hand, Apple isn't going to miss their release date, and all of the hype and expectation, because someone found a typo in a dialog box at the last minute. This could easily be fixed in a subsequent update. these bugs are two extremes, but there are hundreds of bugs in between, and the line needs to be drawn somewhere. Also,Apple is only going to make ship or stop ship decisions based on the issues they're aware of. I think it's pretty clear that Apple wasn't aware of the security bug which caused them to release 7.0.2. It costs a lot to push a release out so soon after a major update, and they wouldn't have done it if they'd known about that bug before 7.0 was released. I suppose you could claim that Apple should have caught this bug in their code reviews or testing, but some of this testing just can't be automated, and it would take forever to test every possible combination. No sufficiently complex system or application will ever be perfect before it's shipped. All Apple or any company can do is look at the data and make the best business decision they can based on that data.

To answer Raul's question, yes I do. It gets updated when I have time to babysit it in the event the thing breaks.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
It has downloaded onto my device, just not installed. The reason I know this is I have another device that shows that there is an update available, IOS 7.02, and with that I get download and install.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Raul, There is a huge difference when you're looking at a 32 or 16 GB I device versus a Windows or a Mac PC with many many megabytes gigabytes or even maybe terabytes of space. This is just wrong. I have 4 GB left on my iPhone. And when this unwanted download comes on, it's going to leave me with something around 1 1/2 left. That is a problem. One of the things that Apple used to pride itself on his it just works. Given what I've heard about iOS 7 and voiceover, I don't think they're living up to their reputation. We pay a lot more for this hardware and put up with the walled garden because it is supposed to offer a superior experience. This is not an example of a superior experience. Quite honestly, this is more like what I would expect from the wild West in Google land, where it's incredibly fragmented, and excess ability is catch as catch can, and it's a mess. I don't pay big bucks to expect this kind of treatment from the company. Mary experience. Sent from my iPhone On Sep 26, 2013, at 7:14 PM, Raul A.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
Well, it seems to me that the bugs in contacts where you can't edit the first or last name of a contact are in and of themselves serious enough to warrant not upgrading. And as somebody with a 32 GB model who doesn't have all that much space left, I really don't want this 3 GB worth of download on my iPhone until I'm ready to upgrade. Chris I don't understand why you don't get this. But to each his own.

Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
I'm on, I couldn't agree with you more. I am curious what the big feature in iOS 7 is that convinced you to upgrade. I myself have not upgraded I don't want to upgrade right now. I have a less buggy iOS 6 that works for me. And I am so angry at Apple that if I didn't dislike android so much, this stupid move on their part would be enough to make me switch over to the other platform. The Sendero upgrade for the GPS that works on iOS 7 is not yet out. I am pretty sure there are some other apps that also have yet to be upgraded. It is arrogant and controlling beyond belief that Apple should force a download onto anybody. What in gods name are they thinking? I know this sounds strong, and I suppose it is. But really Apple you are going to far this time. Mary Sent from my iPhone On Sep 26, 2013, at 10:12 AM, Aman Singer aman.sin...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Chris and all. I would, Chris, respectfully disagree with what you say below. I neither like nor dislike change, but like change for the better and dislike change for the worse. I have upgraded to iOS 7 because it has one absolutely earthshaking feature which makes my use allot easier than it was. If that feature weren't there, I would not have updated. I have heard of very few things more foolish than Apple's downloading the update to the devices. People could want to avoid the program because of the bugs. They could be in a place with a satellite or other expensive connection and not want to download such a large file. This would be particularly nasty if the connection charged by the megabyte. They could have their disk nearly full and need to keep space open. They could have an older device which they don't want to upgrade though Apple says it can be upgraded. They could have an unstable network which may not like having large files downloaded over it. They could have a network which is constantly in use and is, therefore, very slow for downloads of large files. They could be avoiding the update because they like jailbroken devices. They may have applications which don't work, or don't work properly, on iOS 7. I could go on. There are tons of reasons not to upgrade, many of which are excellent.

RE: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.
I can see why Apple just downloading the update to your phone could pose a problem if your phone already has a tiny fraction of the space it came with left. That's valid, if avoidable by the user--just don't store your entire life on your phone. It would be useful if Apple gave you the option of turning even that much off. I mean heck, even Windows gives you that option. But since that's more than likely not about to happen on account of Apple's we know best mentality, see above. _ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Wil James Sent: September 26, 2013 12:30 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple now forcing iOS 6 holdouts to upgrade to iOS 7.

So, apparently it is there on my phone and waiting to be installed. I wish to hold out for a while so will see what happens.

Well, I am still using IO’s 6 on my iPhone 4. I am going to be getting the 5s, but hesitate to update to IO s 7 because I would be in trouble if something went drastically wrong with my 4. Frankly, I can’t imagine that Appple really cares what I do or don’t have on my iPhone 4.

If this is true, there are going to be some court challenges I bet. This is not right in my opinion. reggie and Allegra On Sep 26, 2013, at 11:15 AM, Daniel Miller miller...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, For those of you who want/need to stay on iOS 6 for whatever reason, I come with some bad news. According to an article I’ll link to below, Apple is pushing the OTA update to 7 automatically to devices that don’t have 7 installed yet, with no user consent, and no way to reclaim the lost storage space the update uses when downloaded. http://appadvice.com/appnn/2013/09/apple-is-automatically-pushing-out-ios-7-to-holdout-devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
