Sure, sure, "accidentally". There's no way to "accidentally" install an iOS
system update. You're lying through your teeth if that's what you are
saying.

YouTube ads have nothing to do with updating iOS itself, and everything to
do with updating the YouTube app. More likely your "accident" involved
"accidentally" updating the YouTube app by tapping a button to install the
update, which I suspect wasn't actually an "accident" since you have been
discussing YouTube ads for weeks here, and probably updated it in the
process of testing things out. The word you probably meant to use is
"mistakenly".  : )

Stop lying. You've been told that you can easily back up iOS apps and
reinstall old versions through iTunes on several occasions. Many of us keep
backups of every app version we get for this purpose. I'm running apps that
aren't even available on the App Store today because of it.
