Apple has been asking its users to use the latest iOS version for years. The just and unjust reasons for this policy are discussed. If your device supports iOS 15 and you prefer not to update, Apple will make your job a little harder. Even though minor security updates are rare, even for iOS 12, Apple has mentioned that staying on the old version won’t last forever.
Apple says option to stay on iOS 14 is temporary
If you are using a device with iOS 14 installed, you may be seeing updates coming to your device from time to time. These incoming updates make your device more secure instead of adding new features. So we had a big advantage to stay on iOS 14 and wait for iOS 15 to be free of bugs. Although it was said at WWDC last year that it is possible to stay on iOS 14, Apple mentioned in its new statement that this is temporary.
In a statement to Ars Technica, the Apple official said that the option to stay on iOS 14 is temporary and that users will need to update in the future. So you can still stay on iOS 14, but one day you won’t be able to continue with it. If your device does not support iOS 15, this does not affect you, you will stay on the current version.
The fact that there are people using old iOS versions makes Apple constantly release security patches to old devices. This is both a snag for the development of new versions and a choice that can negatively affect the user experience over time. At this point, most Apple users claim that new versions slow down their devices.
Even if the clock speed of the processors of old devices has not been reduced since iPhone 6, the increasingly heavy iOS operating system is pushing old devices. That’s why Apple users who say that their device is slowing down are largely right. It is also possible to say that most of those who want to stay on iOS 14 are those who use aging devices such as iPhone 8.
We wonder what other sanctions the company will impose on Apple users in the future. If there is any development in this regard, we will share it with you.
