The only reason this would be is if someone manually did the update. Apple does not force through an update to a new operating system. You must physically agree to do so twice before any firmware update is done. The only thing that you may get is a notification that there is an update if you want it.

My wife has an Iphone 5s, I have a 4s. She did not buy Apple care for her phone, I did. This morning, she said Apple had pushed through the ios 8 update on her phone, mine is still showing 7.12. Why would this be? She uses screen zoom on her phone, and is now having difficulty adapting to the new unwanted update. I am a voiceover user. To my mind I am not sure it is fair for Apple to insist that everyone load the new ios update. This may be an unfair comparison, but a couple of days ago on my PC, Microsoft pushed through an i.e. 11 update. I use Jaws 14, which does not work well with i.e. 11. I was able to call for free the Microsoft disability support line to walk through removing the update because they understood the negative effect on my screen reader. By comparison, apple charges for their tech support, which my wife does not have, and there is no going back to the previous ios version. I think I like Microsoft's corporate policy better. Thoughts?
