Is there a way to undue the upgrade on an iPad?
Mine allways requires my participation to update, curious that it occured w/o yours

All digital systems have need to be updated due to hardware vulnerabilities( look up Meltdown and Spectre) this applied to both Apple and Intel products.

The software updates protect against the hardware issue but a side issue is that the device will run slower, the degree of slowdown depends on the age of the device and the task being performed.

This is another majo Kick in the A** to any one that wants fast devices, I see the slowdown most in my graphics
