One of the comments on the NY Times was this:
"Apple does not force iOS updates on its users. However, it does notify you as soon as an update is available"
Alas, that's something of a lie! OK, something of a falsehood for polite society. In fact, Apple downloads its iOS installer update to your device--and that can take up over 3gb of space! You have no choice in that.
And, if you are not careful, you can inadvertently click a button in iTunes that updates the OS.
No, the reality is that Apple is forcing through its updates; making it all too easy for people to reflexively click yes on the update; and eating up precious space on 16gb devices (well, 14 gb).
