When will Apple allow downgrading for any of their devices?

I have the iPhone 4S, the phone came pre-installed with iOS 6 and I really liked the design of iOS 6.
So, last year when iOS 7 was released to the public I did not like the look of it and I also didn't wanted to update to iOS 7.
Then, on the day iOS 7 was released, I put my phone to charge at night and the very next day I see the phone updated to iOS 7 without my consent, by the way, I did not tap "Download", the previous day.
I hate iOS 7, because of it's design and the animation (I know that you can turn off the animation in the "Settings" app).
So, when will Apple allow downgrading?

Since Apple doesn't typically publicize decisions such as this in advance, no one here can tell you that.
However, based on past history, never would be a good guess.

  • When will Apple allow background processes for the iPhone?

    Can't find a suitable subforum so I'll post it here, please refer me to the correct Apple forum otherwise.
    When will Apple allow background processes for the iPhone?
    When will Apple allow Alerts from 3rd party apps?
    Even my first Palm Pilot allowed developers to use Alert beeps.
    Why is Apple crippling the iPhone?
    If they continue this, Android will be the winner.
    Or will the next SDK allow this?

    Background processing, simply won't. They already said they won't and explained why.
    However, they are currently adding "Push" ability to developers (soon). Originally they did say they were shooting for Sept (but obviously that has passed). Nobody can say "why" it is late or when it will come. Just know it is coming.
    Push in case you don't know will let a service (one service) run in the background that apple makes for the phone. that service will ping apple's servers. Apps that want to "run" in the background have to register with that service thus lets say AIM is on your phone, you send a message and close...somebody responds. AIM's servers will send notification to the push service...then the phone will alert you of a notification in the AIM app, you open (thus starts the app again) and it gets the message.

  • When will Apple allow the use of Belgium's Proximus 4G ?

    Belgium Proximus career just release its 4G network, but it appears that Apple doesn't allow the use of it via the Iphone 5.
    When will apple allow it ?
    JC

    Dear varjak,
    I suppose you are from Apple's support team. Thx for taking my request for serious and thx for the quick reply.
    If there is no plan to provide LTE to Proximus in Belgium then I will have a real issue, than I will have to buy new/other smartphones for my company. We need 4G for our business apps and demonstrations. Please tell where I can claim the money that invested in iPhones back ?
    Kind regards

  • When will Apple allow swipe-to-text?

    When will Apple allow swipe-to-text? It is so much faster, easier and convenient than the current input methods. Swipe-to-text is to qwerty as predictive text is to multitap.

  • When will Apple allow Wireless Analyzers for the iPhone/iPad?

    I know this used to be available prior to iOS 5, but I was curious about the future release of Wireless Analyzers (other than Jailbreaking).  I would love to have an App (whether it is an Apple one or 3rd party) for work.  Any ideas?

    They will allow such an app when someone submits one that doesn't violate Apple's development rules regarding using undocumented API's or accessing core functions that are prohibited to 3rd party apps.

  • When will apple allow apps on ipod 7th gen?

    I wish apple put games compatability on the next ipod nano 7th gen update. i loved the games on the 4th gen and miss them.

    Who knows what the future will bring for Apple products... No one posting here knows such info, and the rest of us are not supposed to speculate about future Apple products in Apple's forum.
    You can, however, provide feedback to Apple here

  • When will apple allow PDF docs into iCloud so i can get to them on my iPad?

    Meeting agendas are often in .pdf form.  I can't access them through iCloud which makes my iPad useless at meetings or they're essentially forcing us to use third party apps.  They've realized they can make more money by having third party apps sell on the app store.

    You can't add your movies to iCloud yourself.  If don't see them on your purchased list, it's either because they were purchased with a different Apple ID than the one your iPod is sign into; because they are no longer available in the iTunes store; or because the studio doesn't permit them to be redownloaded from the iTunes store (not all do).
    If they are in your iTunes library, you can sync them to your iPod by selecting them on the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • When will Apple update for Olympus E-5 RAW?

    When will Apple update Aperture for Olympus E-5 RAW?

    This is starting to annoy me at a level where I'm considering switching to Lightroom when they release a new major version number.
    The D7000 hit the shelves about the same time as the E-5 and it's included in the latest update. I realize that Olympus is not exactly mainstream but neither is Aperture. If Apple wants to keep us happy then they must act within this year to supply that update. I doubt that will happen though.

  • When will Apple pay for Jan '14?

    Today is February 12 and I cannot see January's financial reports. When will apple pay developers for Jan '14. Is something wrong with me?

    Nope.   The iPhone 5 lacks the NFC chip that the Apple Pay service requires in order to connect with the payment terminals at stores.
    However, once the Apple Watch is released, you can use it in conjunction with the iPhone 5, 5c, or 5s for Apple Pay based payments.

  • When will apple open up access to the calendar?

    When will Apple allow for programs to access the calendar directly like Synthesis SyncML client???

    There is no way to know, as we are iphone users like you.
    Until or unless Apple announces, no on will have any idea what they may or may not do in the future.
    My guess, never.

  • When will Apple stop binding their clients with wasted memory and space?

    There are many like myself that will never use some of the built-in apps yet they persist all The same.
    With no legal means of removal through iTunes, these apps degrade the product.
    When will Apple create the option many of their clients want and allow these superfluous apps to be removed?

    Until if/when Apple announce something nobody on here will know, and speculation about Apple and their policies isn't allowed here

  • When will Apple fix Lion OS X v10.7 from freezing after my 27" Mac is put to sleep? I must admit that I am amazed that Apple would release an OS that has this problem, for that matter any serious problem.

    When will Apple come up with a fix for Lion OSX v10.7 from freezing after Lion is put to sleep?  My 27"Mac freezes after being put to sleep and a hrad boot is required to be able to use the system.  I have complained to the local Apples store numerous times. The Genious Bar re-installed the OS and it crashed the very next day and continues to crash two or three times per week.  I am amazed that Apples would relase a product, any product before it has been proven to be solid, then again, look at the release of the newest IPhone 4-S.

    So do you have a question about how to fix your system?
    The question/problem is "My 27"Mac freezes after being put to sleep."
    Gabor, I can't help, except to report that I, too, experience very frequent unexplained crashes and freezes in Lion. However (so far) not when I put it to sleep.
    There are a lot of reports about freezes. Here's one. Maybe you should join that thread. Someone there is also reporting that "Lion has a bug that freezes the system when waking the system from sleep."
    Are you getting freezes/crashes at other times or only when sleeping the computer?
    And does it successfully go to sleep?
    Does it freeze when you wake it, or at the point where you're putting it to sleep?

  • TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

    When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS.  Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

  • When will apple begin to use non us banks for apple pay?

    when will apple begin to use non us banks for apple pay?

    Apple have not announced any dates for non-US rollout of Apple Pay as yet. They have to negotiate agreements with local banks and local branches of credit card companies in multiple countries, ensure they are in compliance with local laws and many other things before this can happen. It is going to take months at the very least I'd guess before you will see it even in major EU countries and longer for places like Asia and the Middle East. It will probably be rolled out in stages over the next year or two (or more) until most of the world has Apple Pay available.
    It took 2+ years after its US debut for iTunes Music Store to spread to many other nations, and the video store was about 12-18 months plus as I recall. Apple Pay probably makes those negotiations look simple in comparison.
