I never had to resort to crap like that, and if I did, I would likely not be happy about the extra hassle of having to turn stuff off and then back on.

The battery life decreasing with update seems like an Android thing, Apple has it's own separate issues.
Yes, I have the option. I use widgets to turn that stuff on & off on the fly.

Just research and find a bare bones, secure Andriod OS. Or keep the OS on it that shipped with the phone. Copperhead OS anyone? Never update, ever. Nothing should really be limited by you doing this, unlike iOS. The battery shouldn't significantly deteriorate until about 2 years into normal usage of the phone. At that point just buy a new one for $50-$100 and replace it. Should be fine.

Never buy Apple products.

This happened to me on a Galaxy S4. It was an older phone, but I loved it. I did an update, and almost immediately, the battery would drain 20% in an hour of not touching it. I bought a replacement battery, just the same.

I was pretty pissed. I ended up trying out an Iphone, which I didn't like, and sold it for a Galaxy S8+. I'll end up rooting the phone when battery life become a problem. I doubt I'll do anymore updates from here.
