You assume you can turn it off. You have no basis on which to make that assumption with any closed-source software. Sure, there's a configuration setting that says it will disable updates, but how do you know Apple can't push through an unblockable update?
Truth: Apple owns your iPhone. You're deluding yourself if you think otherwise. They can remotely brick that fucker any time they please, and there's jack diddly shit you can do about it.
Never, ever, ever trust software that isn't open source.
