It has been a yearly tradition for me. Every year ill make a full backup and upgrade to latest ios. After a week, i do a full restore to previous ios and block apple software update domain.

This year i didnt even update to 18. Straight to blocking apple domain. Its the same shit every year.

Unfamiliar with Apple stuff; what does backing up, upgrading, then downgrading and restoring do? What benefit do you gain over simply not updating?

It deletes the dreaded "system data" / cache

There's no "wipe cache partition" option, like in Android?
