hello, apple keeps downloading the update for their new ios for my device and wasting my limited bandwidth. this occurs when the device is charging and connected to wifi at the same time. this is a problem obviously if i dont want the new version of the os because it is an endless loop - the update is over 1gb and i have only a few gbs monthly. the update is mandatory and the only options are to install immediately or to postpone installation. the workaround which i use is deleting the update from the installed apps menu, but this doesnt solve the problem and makes my device practically unusable while it is charging.

i saw a menu in my router to block access to websites and ips on a lan client. i want to figure out what servers the device connects to when downloading these updates so i can block access to them for the device and the idiocy stops. i have a desktop pc, i am thinking cmd will come in handy, lmk u experts.

Block their update servers on your network.



Example of an iPhone 7 Plus .ipsw from Apple's servers.

would "appldnld.apple.com" suffice?

I believe so, could try blocking anything *.apple.com

wouldnt this block the app store on the device? that would probably be the way to do it though
