Most apps require constant updates or they stop working.

I had set up my iphone to only update on wifi, and was travelling for a month or so only using mobile network.

When I tried to get an uber, I realized the app didn't work correctly (the driver appeared to be in the middle of the ocean). Same for other apps.

Games and apps that don't use heavy server code work fine, but google maps, uber, whatsapp, facebook, and some of the KEY things will break eventually if you never update them.

Once my bank forced me to update. When I went to make a “scheduled payment” (as I like to do after opening my bills...), it now said “coming soon”.

I was not impressed.

Google maps probably won't break, but other things might.
