Talk about completely whooshing the point. Do you even read?

 
Chris,

Arlen - not sure why that nym of yours stuck?

You don't even respond to people's point. You just repeat the same verbal
diarrhoea on the same single narrow, boring thing.

 
People like you are why I say the things I do about Apple zealots.
Badgolferman is an adult - he would never say the lies you just said.
 
I have one advantage over all of you religious zealots, and it precisely
that I'm not stupid - where I'm calling you out on your lies about support.

FACT:
*Apple only fully supports one and only one major release*

 
Not fact.

 
If you think Apple fully supports more than one release, Chris,
then it's you who didn't read any of the cites I provided, one of which is
from Apple which badgolferman read and quoted, which refutes your claim.
 
Since it _is_ fact, I posit you didn't understand the cite.

You're obsessing on the word "fully" which is open to interpretation as I
posted to badgolferman the other day.

Now, I do admit that Apple could be much more explicit by what it means
like Google and Samsung have done recently.

The *evidence* does remain that in the last year the three most recent ios
versions are updated constantly.

FACT:
 Apple only fully supports one release and Apple clearly says that.
 <https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/about-software-updates-depc4c80847a/>
 

Apple can only fully support currently implemented architectures.
The fact is Apple does update 17, 16 & 15 regularly.

 
Chris... there's no way you have a PhD if you can't comprehend that every
operating system vendor, including Apple, fixes egregious bugs in every
release, even releases a decade old - but that does not mean they fix every
bug they know of in that release - and - in fact - Apple specifically
states that they do NOT fix every bug they know of in any release but in
the latest release. That's just a fact, Chris.

What we don't know is why? For example, not all win11 bugs will update in
win10 because they are different oses.

That last arsetechnica article makes an invalid point in comparing two 5
year old computers and claims the mac would have to be junked due to
company policy due to to no more support. What it forgets is that companies
have policies of refreshing hardware on a 3, 4, 5 year cycle anyway
regardless of whether it's supported or not.

 
The fact remains that only Apple fully supports only one release, Chris.
That's just a fact.

A 5 year old PC will be on its knees as well.

 
That's a ridiculously absurd assessment Chris.
 
My desktop PC was built in 2009, Chris, and it kicks ass because it was
built by me with high end components of that day and age - and it has full
operating system support for all bugs that Microsoft knows about.

Like every corporation allows their employers to build their own high spec
PC. lol, no.

In the real world, employees all get a std base spec laptop or mini PC.
They are shit and struggle to last more than a few years.

I have a small team of specialists and in the last couple of years 2 or 3
have had to have their HP laptops repaired or replaced.

So you're wrong again.

Nope. You don't live in the same world as most.
