I rejected iOS 26 for a while and boy did my opinion on whether Apple forces version changes do a 180. Everything people lambast Windows for was there. Nags with no “no” option, a red notification badge you can’t dismiss, scare dialogs, and disabling unrelated features. This latest slimy behavior is unfortunately quite consistent with how Apple treats disobedient iOS users.
On macOS they still seem to be stopped by firm enough non-consent, but they really try to force you first, and I get the impression they may do worse any year now.
