    It has been a yearly tradition for me. Every year ill make a full backup and upgrade to latest ios. After a week, i do a full restore to previous ios and block apple software update domain.

    This year i didnt even update to 18. Straight to blocking apple domain. Its the same shit every year.

      Unfamiliar with Apple stuff; what does backing up, upgrading, then downgrading and restoring do? What benefit do you gain over simply not updating?

        Just want to see what the fuss is with the new ios. That is it. Nothing major. The thing is with new ios version, there’s always something weird going on. Such as battery drain, weird graphical bug, glitch etc.

        That is why i usually do it when im bored and have some time to spare. If i like it, l stay on the new version, If i dont like the new version, ill downgrade and block apple domain so dont get the update nagging. Ill wait until next major version like 18.1 or 18.2 then ill see how it goes.

        Its way different than stock android. With iphone, just a couple of click and an hour waiting and im good to go. Its like restoring an image backup. No need to setup each app, log into app, change some settings etc.
