Re: To adults - very few on this newsgroup - like badgolferman - what do you think of the facts?

1. Apple only fully supports a single major release (currently iOS 17).

3. Google & Samsung support multiple releases in a seven year period.
 
For years the Apple religious zealots have lied by denying those facts.

 
Given that the 7-years policy is only a few months old, how can "Apple
religious zealots" (sic) have lied for years?

 
Chris,

Oh, here we go. Rant incoming...

Please keep in mind that you're ignorant.
You know absolutely nothing.
>
You don't know how Android updates.
And you don't know how iOS updates.
 
I do. (Because I'm not stupid).
You don't.

I am in awe. Please go on...[1]

I am only feeding you bit by bit - I don't talk to you like an adult.
With badgolferman - I talk to him like an adult - but not with you.

That is *so* considerate of you. Thank you![1]

Google has been updating _all_ Android phones over version 4.4 for years!
Monthly.

Lies. The pixel 5a is the oldest supported model. It started with android
11.

Yup. Monthly.

  "Google System updates, meanwhile, are fully automated. Originally
   referred to as Project Mainline, these updates fix bugs discovered
   in various OS components like device connectivity, location services,
   media services, Emergency alerts, and others."

But does it patch every exploit in android which is what you claim Apple
does do? Having lots of updates on *some* things is pointless.

Many apps also won't be updated if they're on old versions of android. So
again partially patching android 4.4 is pointless.

That's way more updates than Apple gives you Chris.

I thought more was bad? Every time there's an ios update, you rave on how
bad apple is at testing things. So android updates = good and apple updates
= bad. Got it![1]

I realize this is too much information for you to handle,
but the lack of these updates is why Apple hotfix support stinks.
 
Google regularly releases these updates to all Android-powered devices,
including smartphones, tablets, TVs, and Wear OS smartwatches.
 
In addition, Apple only fully supports a single release, Chris.
Yet Jolly Roger lied as recently as a few days ago about that.

Not a lie. Facts show the reality.

Look it up.

I have.

He told badgolferman that Apple fully patches all releases.
 
The fact is Apple only fully supports one release only.
No other operating system vendor has support that sucks that bad.

It's an acceptable model when all supported hardware can run the most OS.
You wouldn't expect anyone to keep a 386 up-to-date? Maybe you would.

You can hate me for explaining to you (with facts) that
Apple's support is the worst in the industry - but I don't
expect you to believe in facts.

I can guarantee you that Apple's support is far from the worst.

Because I've told you all this probably scores of times, Chris.

Each time is more wrong than the last..

You're too stupid to understand facts about Apple products.

How about ios geofencing? Know anything about that?

All you know are what Apple says it does.
Not what Apple actually does.

That's right. You have no interest in learning.
