"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.

 
Chris,

Answer the question.

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

 
What you do not understand is the non-Google apps are updated separately.

I absolutely know that, which is exactly the point. Non- google apps refuse
to update their apps on obsolete versions of android. So Google supposedly
updating some parts of Android 4.4 is a waste of time.

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]

 

Answer the question. Is the frequency of android updates a good thing?

 

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.

 
You're not an adult if you don't understand that everyone but you religious
zealots knows Apple only fully patches one release & one release alone.
 

Look it up.

 
I have.

 
There's a reason I call you religious zealots ignorant, Chris.
 
a) You show zero evidence you read the cites that badgolferman did
b) Worse, you show zero evidence that you understood them.

I have shown you the evidence several times. The fact you chose to snip it
rather address it, speaks volumes regarding your wilful ignorance.

The evidence is two-fold: 1) Apple updates older versions of ios very
regularly, 2) ios support of older hardware is *years* longer than Google
or Samsung. Their new policies will only come into reality i'm a few years.

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.

 

Answer the question!
