Hi Michelle and Kimber,
I agree that updating may at times not be what you want especially if you are on a previous major version and it is known that the new version has bugs you don’t care to deal with. However, in the case of a double dot update, e.g. from 9.2 to 9.2.1 the update is as you said primarily a security update and a fairly small one at that. I think on my phone it was 46 Mb and the download happened in less than a minute or so, then it took maybe 5 minutes for the update to install (on an older device this could be a bit longer). Considering the time you spent writing the emails and now trying a few suggestions to try and get rid of the notifications you could have easily done this update and especially such small double dot updates really don’t need to be installed via iTunes. Just force quit al apps and, if you want to do one more preparatory step, do a reboot of your phone, then install the update and all will be good.

People have various reasons why they do not always wish to immediately update their devices and the constant reminder to update a device when you wish to postpone that installation can be annoying. Thanks for the suggestions on how to deactivate the reminders. I will give them a try.

I only perform updates via iTunes and will install 9.21 the next time I am at my laptop. I just don't want to be prompted constantly in the meantime.
