iPhone Apple forcing people to update to IOS11

I was talking more about the “update suggestion” not by iOS 11 itself. Of course I don’t expect the same performance as the new phones and in fact I don’t mind losing performance while gaining new features but losing it for nothing..

No, this way of doing it is new. I don’t need to search the forums, I am using iOS since first version and of course you always received the notification but not in this aggressive way.

Yes, seems that this kind of hacking is the only way to avoid this,
Not really that new as the current form its been in has been around since at least about iOS 9 days, as has been brought up earlier in the thread. There have definitely been threads discussing it all as well.
It's not about the age of the phone or iPad that's a problem. Plain and simple, it's the software.
I had an iPhone 4s. Ran beautiful with iOS 6 (still the Steve jobs aesthetic). APPLE was already at iOS 8, and I did not feel to update since everything was still fast, snappy, and just worked.
Then my Lyft app, which I don't even use anymore, forced me to update my iOS (if I don't update, I couldnt use the app to get a ride). So I did.
In a matter of minutes, I went from a fast, snappy phone, to a sluggish, patience testing brick. The iOS update made my phone the worst it has ever been, and it was all thanks to Apple.
I currentlycurre an iPad pro 1st Gen. And it's on iOS 11.3. It's running fine. But just a couple minutes ago, all Apple services, ibooks, iTunes, etc stopped connecting. I know Apple is forcing to update to iOS 12. But they really screw up with the gestures of iOS 11, making the user have to do more swipes to get to a function on iOS 12. I really REALLY don't want to, based on my past experience. It's totally valid.
The problem is not the device, it's the software Apple updates the user with.
There are videos on YouTube of apple clerk's lying to their customer about to fix the problem on their device, they would have to pay a ton of money to fix it, or buy a new device (which was almost the same price)
The guy went to a 3rd party repair shop and the guy fixed it for 100 bucks.
Planned obscelecnse is real.
