Will iPhone users be required to update to the new IOS 7?

From what I've read so far the new IOS doesn't attract me and I'd like to keep the existing IOS. Is this going to be possible? Thanks much.

No one will have to upgrade when it is released if they don't want to. It will not be available until this Fall after extensive testing to get as many bugs out of it as possible.

    Hello brownie67,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you're currently unable to update your iOS device Over The Air, then please update it using iTunes.
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch iOS software
    Take care,

  • After restoring my iphone 5 though itunes after updating to the new ios and setting it up as an existing iphone, i unlock my iphone and it tells me i have to connect it to itunes and set it up again but it just stays stuck saying connected to itunes

    i just updated to the new ios version, and now i cant set my phone up as an existing one. i have put it in recovery mode and tried to restore it but it wont work. Itunes will let me set it up as an existing phone and back up all my data but once i unlock my phone it goes through the setting up options and then asks me to either set up as a new or existing phone and when i choose existing it just says connect to itunes and does nothing. can anyody help?

    Seems like you are restoring from a blank back up if it is still asking you those 3 options of set up as new, restore from itunes or icloud back up. Set the iPhone up as new then manually restore from a back up. Follow the steps foriTunes 10.7 or earlier in the article below as it is the same process for iTunes 11:

    When you do this you will be able to check for backs showing date and time. Be sure to choose a back up made before you restored to factory settings.

    Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update.  You must update using iTunes on your computer.
    Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes.  Let it sync.  Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes.  That should od it for you.

  • My iPhone 5 is not allowing updating to the newest iOS version 6.1.3.

    My iPhone 5 is not allowing updating to the newest iOS version 6.1.3.  I missed doing the 6.1.2 update before 6.1.3 was available.  It wants to install the 6.1.2 update, but, once I agree to the terms it tells me I can't because I am not connected to the Internet.  It is connected to the net, as proved by surfing and iTunes, both by LTE and wireless.  I have tried both a full shutdown as well as the most of the easy tricks to, like with apps updates, to get it to refresh.  Has anyone had this issue since the 6.1.3 release, and is there an easy way to resolve the conflict.

    The next iOS update won't change this.
    Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?
    What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

    You haven't mentioned any steps you might have tried to correct this so I'll suggest you try the first troubleshooting step. Reset your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. No data will be lost doing this. It's like rebooting a computer.

  • I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days.  After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them.  Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
    If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them.  However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so.  If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
    To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
