Not a smartphone enthusiast, but use them.
I'm trying to transfer to transfer my data and settings from an 6s+ running ios15 to an SE II running ios16.
Transfering via new phone setup wizard wants to update it to ios17 (right here, right now - no option to decline or do it later) - which I don't want.
Disabling internet or wifi is a show stopper for the above process.
Being ticked off at the lack of choices (but hey, it's OK to harass me on numerous screens with touch ID, Siri and other money makers), I decide to use iTunes (another love story), take backup of the old phone and when it comes to restoring - same crap, you need to set up the phone as new and update to the latest version. Anyone have an idea how it knows it's not the latest version? (computer running iTunes not on internet).
Ideas are welcome, thanks!
