Automatic updates

I recently was forced to update my device.  After my phone restarted I was given a series of items that I could opt in or out.   The last item was to allow automatic updates from Google, Samsung, and ATT giving them permission to automatically update and install apps on mobile data or wifi without my consent.   I do not agree to this term and cannot continue without accepting it and cannot get the notification to go away.

As you have noticed you don't have a choice. You must accept software updates. This is a condition of you using their product.

It's time to buy iPhones, or buy your phones unlocked.

When you purchase a phone through a service provider you are limited by their policies and their choice to protect their Network. They also do not want to warranty a phone that has not kept up with software updates as required.
