For example, even simple details like changing the system’s theme colors and other “standard” types of customization are missing from iOS and have been since the start, even though they are among the most commonly requested features by users of the operating system.
In the meantime, Apple have also made some worrying moves with regards to iOS 9, and it seems like it’s no longer possible to downgrade to it after moving up to iOS 10.
This used to be a last resort option for those who wanted to try out iOS 10, possibly waiting for a jailbreak to come out soon. Those who were worried that the system might not work that well on their devices had the option to easily give it a try and go back to iOS 9 if they didn’t like it, but that’s no longer possible since Apple have stopped signing the last version of iOS 9.
The company has made it pretty clear in the past that this is how they work though, and it’s normal for them to push older iOS versions out of production as they move forward with the development of the operating system. But for those who’re still using older models of the iPhone and iPad, this is a problematic situation as it practically forces them to buy a new device after a certain point.
This is another common complaint against the company, but sadly it seems to be another point on which they are not willing to compromise.
