Usually, updating iOS to the latest version is the best solution for making full use of Apple's operating system. However there are some cases you may need to restore iPhone without updating. I refer to those cases where, for example, you are using a jailbroken iPhone and you don't want to lose the ability to jailbreak. Or you are using iPhone 4s and don't want to upgrade it to iOS 9.X which may slow down your iPhone. If you find yourself in such a situation too, don't worry!

Don't start the setup process. Instead, connect your iPhone back to computer. Step 4.

It should look something like this: The update alert comes up again and again. It seems like that Apple won't stop the nagging until we get the update. For those who are sick of the repeated update alert, we get some tips. Tip 1: Understand Apple's iOS Update Method Apple encourages every iOS users to have the latest version of iOS. To do that, the company rolled out a feature named "Automatic Downloads". When a new version of iOS, for example, iOS 10 is released, your iPhone/iPad/iPod will automatically download the update for you, mostly at night when the device is charging. With the update downloaded in the background, you are prompted to install it. Tip 2: Disable "Automatic Downloads" On your iPhone/iPad/iPod, go to "Settings" > "iTunes & App Stores". Toggle the "Updates" option to off. This will stop iOS from downloading update automatically for you in the future.

  5. Tip: If you turn on "Use Cellular Data", downloads are limited to a file size of 100 MB or smaller. Tip 3: Delete the Downloaded Update If you want to stop receiving the update alert, you have to delete the downloaded update, too. Tap "Settings" > "General" > "Storage & iCloud Usage" > "Manage Storage". Then find the iOS update. You can easy recognize it because it is named as something like "iOS 10.0.2". Choose "Delete Update" and confirm your choice in the pop-up. Done! iOS 10 might be great, but it should be your call to update your device or not. Hope you enjoy the post.
