Hi: I wonder if the tip about making the app store manual would be usable to stop IOS-7 from downloading automatically? I set the app store so I could download manually. When I checked my IOS updates in settings, sitting in the slot was IOS-7.2. I had to manually ask it to download. NOW, figuring these two things do not have anything to do with each other, but I was able to make the decision if I wanted 7.02. Actually feel it fixed some minor bugs, at least on my phone so happy I made the upgrade. If they are truly "pushing" without knowledge of the user, in my opinion, this is wrong. Microsoft doesn't just upgrade Windows to 7 or 8 automatically! If they put me on Win-8, I'd throw a tantrum! (smiley)

I came upon your helpful discussion after I caught my iPhone downloading iOS7 in the background without my knowledge. I reckon David's information here is the most useful for those of us wanting to prevent the download for now, never mind the update. (I don't want the iOS7 on my phone yet because I find Reminders crashes on my iPad in iOS7 after editing a large entry). I reckon the key words in David's post are :" locked, plugged in, and on a wifi network", though I am not sure about the locked point, as I found the phone downloading when not locked. But I definitely found that it won't download if the unit is (a) not on power or (b) not on WiFi. So the simple way to prevent the download altogether is to turn Wifi off when charging. I also noticed that the download started from scratch after I powered the phone off and on again, which suggests it is removed by powering off, though I didn't check the phone capacity to confirm this. That may provide a way to save space for those of you with less capacity.
