I literally haven’t allowed my iPhone to update since Christmas when I read in a few places that we may be getting EBS alerts, and Lin Wood warned that Apple intended to provide an update to block receipt of said EBS.
I refused to update after that too. Cellular internet quit working on my phone shortly after, I restarted it and got the setup screen that comes up after an update.. Absolutely pissed. Got a new phone and flashed grapheneos to it. Done with big tech.
I’ve been sticking it to Big Tech since all the crap last year; got all my accounts deleted. Keeping my phone for now just because it was $1200 and I’ve only had it a year or two now. My next phone is not gonna support Big Tech though, I’m sick of censorship and them trying to control me
I think it does exist still in some way. Every week on the TV there’s a test alert that reminds me of some kind of EBS. They have to be able to communicate with us in an emergency
But there is an emergency communication system in existence, right? If so that’s all I’m trying to say.. I will not allow my phone to update as long as there’s a chance we can receive it and as long as my phone company is looking to prevent said system from alerting me. I don’t care whether it’s called EBS or EAS lol.

Same and I'm starting to notice some glitches lately that would normally make me go for the update. Very annoying.
