Surely Apple has boasted how fast people have adopted iOS 7 in recent months, but that doesn’t mean this is what everyone wants. iOS 7 has been met by some polarizing acceptance, and some of us even feel that it’s the sloppiest version of iOS yet, but it seems that if you decided to stay away from it, Apple wants you using it whether you like it or not.

As much as we know that lot’s of you celebrated the launch of iOS 7, that didn’t include all of us. Aside from its clear aesthetic differences to iOS 6, it has proven to be less stable and more polarizing as well.
