>> Coincidentally I watched a YouTube video yesterday where a couple sailing from Hawaii to Alaska were using their iPad for navigation. As they were leaving Hawaii the iPad wanted to do an iOS update. Since they didn't have WiFi the iPad froze and became useless. They did have multiple redundant devices for navigation but many cruisers like the convenience of iPads.

> That's a real problem for us who live and work on the edge of the Internet. To repeat myself, the folks in Mountain View, Cupertino, and Redmond have trouble conceiving of anyone that doesn't have broadband everywhere all the time. We need to get them out of their offices and in the real world. That doesn't mean New York or St Louis. It means Coinjock NC, the Out Islands of the Bahamas, Horta Azores, Bradenton FL, and other places where connections are intermittent, slow, and expensive.
Wouldn't it be a lot easier just to turn off the automatic updates?
So apps and iOS would only update when to tell it to?
More accurate info from me, I watched the video again.
It was an intentional update. The lightening cord may have broke.
They use the iPads in the cabin.
They don't list the app used on iPad.
A number of their followers also made Jim's suggestion.
My apologies for original errors.
