We know that Apple likes to show the statistics for every iOS update, how many people installed it, etc. If not, feel free to downgrade, even if it voids warranty. That is true, but that is customer responsibility, if he/she cares about security, stay on newest firmware. Of course there are counter-arguments, for example the one saying that by downgrading you are exposing your device to viruses and other exploits. Customer should be allowed to downgrade if he/she chooses so. Recently it became even bigger issue after the CPU throttling scandal in iOS post-10.2.1.
It is a well known fact that every iPhone is being slowed down with new iOS releases, of course the logical explanation says that that is because of new features that every new iOS release brings, but why is user deprived of the choice to go back to the iOS version his device was running very smoothly on? If, for example you own iPhone 5S and you are curious about iOS11 and you update, you will be surprised by terrible performance of the UI (UI, not benchmarks, benchmarks don’t mean a thing in real world usage) and you will have no choice but to stay on this firmware and „enjoy” your phone. Quick search through the internet reveals the dirty tactics Apple is using, it keeps displaying annoying prompts about updating, they can be dismissed, but it will only make them appear later or even install new software in the night when you are asleep. Instead of this, Apple is forcing its customers to update to newer iOS firmware even if the customer doesn’t want to. We, iPhone users, started this direction because we feel that Apple’s involvement with the product should end in the moment when we buy it.
