I find it insidious how they present the lock screen at that point -- I clicked to dismiss, but they're asking for authorization still.

Right, the whole "enter your PIN to update tonight" screen. I just gave into the nags and updated my old iPod Touch (which I only use as a remote for some home automation things), and now it runs considerably slower.

Yeah, I gave in on my iPhone and now it runs really hot. But this time around they're being so annoying about it that having an OS that clearly wasn't designed with my hardware in mind is probably the preferable option.

Long story short, I'm pretty sure this phone is my last iPhone.
