I do not want hundreds of new features on my iPhone. Security only is desired. Is there a way to get security updates without the junk?

can we have security updates without the rest? Don’t need hundreds of cutesy stuff.


iPhone XR, iOS 14

Yes, I am aware of this. However if I am not the only one thinking this. Perhaps Apple will listen. I have a work phone. It isn’t a toy nor a social media device. If we could limit updates to what is really needed, it would be awesome. Others could enjoy all the social cutesy updates and serious workers could just get needed security updates.

what a concept!
