Earlier quoted context omitted.
Apple is not above sleazy tricks like this. They have also had ‘bugs’ where they silently turned off the ‘Limit ad tracking’ setting automatically.
Also if you're an iTunes Match user and don't subscribe to Apple music you now have to skip past an Apple Music advert every so often when you open the Music app. Not sure if it's once a month or once an update but I've had it twice so far. Not to mention having to delay an update notification daily on my Mac. This is the sort of behavior that any other big 4 would be dragged over the coals for.
I don't understand this. Windows is "dragged over the coals" for forcing updates at the worst times. Why? Because no one ever updates willingly, the update just gets kicked down the line until finally the system forces it.
You have two options for osx:
* Complain about update notifications and never change your attitude or flow. Continue to gripe on forums instead.
* Understand that updates are generally good, and run the updates in the morning before you start working, or at a more convenient time.
I only push back updates about 2-3 days if I forget, but it's not that hard to just update and get it over with.
