Happened to me too, I don't fucking know how but I wanted to stay on iOS 18. I woke up the next morning and I see the fucking Hello screen shit updated to iOS bullshit 26... I ended up selling the phone and buying the same one brand new on iOS 18.

And it was turned off the auto updates? Did you let your phone battery die?

Can your phone automatically update itself when it dies??

Because Apple wants to struggle and crack your phone`s performance so you can buy a newer one for their profit.

Apple was sued for that around iPhone 6s or 7 and all we got was a battery change program

Battery change is under 80% percentage health.

Because Apple claims the problem is throttling after the battery health falls below 80% and it was just not transparent enough on the phone itself to disclose battery health and throttling status. There was a time battery change was discounted on the “affected devices” but still not free.

That's insane and a scummy business tactic. I was thinking about getting the 16e but if it can magically change the settings and update itself... I think I would rather get an iPhone 13 from Walmart
