How to disable automatic download of ios update

I have never owned an Apple product until recently. I got an ipad mini 2 and an iphone 4s both of them with IOS 7.1.2. I do not want to update them to whatever new OS versions they have to make the devices obsolete. I just noticed the IOS  8.1 update is downloaded automatically on these devices when connected to WIFI and a charger.

I searched online for a solution, but found nothing solid except blocking the update servers.

Let me know if there is a solution to this issue

Mine doesn't download automatically. But aside from that, it does not install automatically ... :-) ...

IIf connected to a wifi network and plugged into a charger, your iPad will automatically try and update itself. Sadly, I am unaware of a way to prevent this In the settings menu. But you can turn the wifi off while recharging to stop it. Not a real solution, but perhaps someone else will have a more practical idea Of what to do.

It is absurd that downloads cannot be prevented.  I have all automatic downloads disabled under

iTunes & App Store >

Automatic Downloads >

Music: DISABLE

Apps: DISABLE

Books: DISABLE

Updates: DISABLE

I am on a cellphone connection with hot spotting to my iPads.  The iPads know they are not on a real Wi-Fi (they have the chain link connection as opposed to the fan Wi-Fi).

Yet the iPads downloaded iOS 11.0.3. and used up tons of roaming data.

An expen$ive bug.

Thanks for nothing, Apple.
