Yeah, no. I'm staying with iOS 8 on my iPhone.
Is that you?This wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the incessant message that a new iOS update is available popping up every time you wake your phone from sleep, would it?
Why does it matter? Without prompts like these, tech illiterate people would be too scared to even go into anything in the settings app. It is in apple's best interests to have people running the latest OS containing key security updates.
