I’m sick and tired of not being Apple to choose what iOS version I’d like on my iOS devices. This needs to change.

My Note 3 still runs like the day I bought it. My 7 Plus has turned into a slug.

We should be able to downgrade if the update is bad

Shame, it's our device. We should be able to downgrade if the update is bad, not buy a new phone!!!

We believe any device with consumer updatable software should allow downgrade back to any earlier version that was compatible to that device. For iPhones this should apply to both iOS version and baseband version.

Either remove bloatware like health apps, tips, friend finder, etc and provide really stripped down version of iOS with messaging, call, itunes store and settings. Lets users decide other apps that they want on their phone of the latest software or allow to downgrade to previous versions. I think first option is pretty doable for so called tech giant Apple.

Apple should really think hard on the old saying that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it, if they thought things got bad back in 1985 when Steve jobs was removed, let them continue disregarding and disrespecting their customers they way they do. I promise in the next 5-10 years, Apple will be on the verge of bankruptcy again. The bottom line is that once I purchase a phone for $849.00 or an iPad for $649.00 etc. that device is then MY PROPERTY TO DO WITH IT AS I SEE FIT!!! Even GM, Ford, and Chrysler have separate divisions that strictly supply performance parts for new vehicles that will not void any factory warranties. The day the auto manufacturers start attempting to tell customers that they cannot modify a vehicle they have worked hard for to purchase, is the day they will be joining Apple. Head this warning Mr Cook.... It's time to stop the BS excuses that jailbreaking puts devices at higher risk of viruses and spyware, and accept that most of us hackers/jail-breakers are more qualified to secure our own devices with whatever software we choose to install than most your employees will ever be

I'm sick and tired of iOS 9.2. I had to bring in my iPhone 6 Plus in for service. They updated it to 9.2 even when I told them I didn't want to, but if I didn't, they wouldn't help me. When my iPhone 6 Plus was on 8.4. It was the best. Now it's slow and sucks.
