I agreed to a recent upgrade of an Apple phone.
Never again.
Totally different operating system. Had to learn many commands over again.
Screwed up access to the web. Have to put in password everytme,and certify the same computer over and over and over.
Big mistake.
Nothing Apple, ever.
Would you buy a brand of car if you could only get parts and service and maintenance at the dealer’s shop?

I assume you are posting about iOS11, which on iPhones is not radically different than iOS 10. yes, there are a few changes in how one pulls up controls, and depending on the iPhone model, you may have more functional multitasking. Otherwise - there were no significant changes in how the OS operates (to the user). A few visual/appearance updates and a few added features. Again - not something users ought to find burdensome as you have to look for them.
Screwed up access to the web
Can you elaborate? There were no changes in how an iPhone utilizes the internet - unless you are referring to the rest of that paragraph:
Have to put in password every time, and certify the same computer over and over and over
I have experienced this - iOS 11 turned on "Two-factor verification" - a well-publicized security feature being pushed across the industry. But this is still optional and can be turned off in the settings and in your iTunes/Apple ID account, just as you can completely turn off any need for a passcode to open and use your iPhone (though I highly suggest you don't).
And I will absolutely confirm that the constant demands for validation from another device is annoyong and not necessarily the most simple or seamless implementation. Every time the OS on my MacBook Pro is updated (and as a part of the beta program, that happens with regularity) or with my iPhone/iPad - the whole validation thing starts again with iTunes and other apps...
