The download in the background feature isn't a problem for me. I limit the phones data to available wi-fi only.
What pisses me off is that itunes won't go away when I plug the phone into my macbook. It pops up a dialog asking if I want to update my iPhone. I check the box "don't ask again" and then choose the later button (there is no don't install button). Then I quit iTunes only to have it restart the application 2 minutes later and ask me to update my phone. That wouldn't be so bad IF iTunes wouldn't grab focus and interrupt what I am doing in the current app. I quit iTunes again only to have it repeat the above. That is unacceptable application behavior. This started happening after the latest update of iTunes. So……. I am not happy with how Apple is doing things. -eric On Sep 28, 2013, at 12:13 AM, David Chittenden wrote: > Considering that this feature has been in place since iOS 5, I am surprised > by the vitriolic responses.
