I already know i'm probably going to get a lot of crap for this, but please take your time and sign this petition. A lot of people are fed up with Apple's degrading the performance of your iphone after every software update that they spam you with every time there is a new version, until you finally get annoyed and decide to update. When you do finally update you will be disappointed to see your battery percentage dive down and other issues that follow with that too.
Of course, a lot of us do realize that this comes with several security risks, and while apple is trying to protect us from them, shouldn't we be grown up enough to make the decision on our own to stay on IOS firmware with security risks? I doubt very much that if they did this, that it would leave a huge impact on their sales, and some developers want this as well because the simulator they use doesn't always work and this would be more efficient to them.
@iBSparkes makes some very interesting points for supporting this idea, and he is also encouraging people to sign the petition.
"You know, what if we were to start a petition to send to Apple requesting them to open the signing window for older firmwares? I mean we are all Apple customers and feel like we should be able to use the software that suits our individual devices best. It really is unfair for those of us who pay hundreds of dollars if not over a thousand to be stuck on a software that is problematic and unsatisfactory. Just as we are able to choose what software we use on our household computers, we should absolutely be able to choose the software we run on our mobile computers! I mean you can see the amount of interest and demand for earlier software versions not only from the jailbreak community but elsewhere. It is simply unfair and unacceptable from Apple to withhold our ability to choose. If it’s a security issue put it in the fine print like you do your terms and conditions Apple. We are adults and can make our own decisions.”
Thank you all for taking your time to read. I know it's a long shot and it may not happen, but it's at least worth a try.
