How To Disable iOS 12 Update

Apple is trying to ensure that your iPhone always uses the most current version of the iOS operating system. This desire is not difficult to understand. The fewer different versions used by users, the less various problems arise with the compatibility of various programs and firmware.

But, for the user, updating iOS does not always play a positive role. It is not uncommon that after significant updates, old iPhones start to work much slower. This is proved by the history of such models as iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 4s and iPhone 4. Someone sees this as a malicious intent of Apple, someone believes that this is a natural process, since with each new version of iOS it becomes much more complicated.

Be that as it may, there is no official way to disable iOS updates. If earlier the user could simply not connect his iPhone to iTunes and the updates did not bother him. Now updates arrive on the iPhone over the air, take up space in the smartphone’s memory and regularly remind the user of the need to install. And if the user does not want to install the update, then all this can be very annoying.

Previously, in order to disable the iOS update on the iPhone, you had to use JailBreak. But, now there is an alternative way to get around the system.
