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

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,
What you do not understand is every operating system (even Apple nowadays,
after iOS 16's introduction of RSRs) isn't patched as a single monolith.

The iPhone, up until iOS 16, was patched as a monolith.
Even now it's still "almost" completely a monolith.

No other operating system is patched that way, Chris. None.
Not Windows. Not Linux. Not Android.

Just iOS.

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.

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 wonder if you realize that you Apple religious zealots are so desperate
to claim some sort of victory (when you have the worst support in the
industry) that you're stretching at straws in sheer desperation, Chris?

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.

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.

Accepting that Apple has the worst operating system support in the industry
is fine - as long as you *understand* that Apple is the only common
consumer operating system vendor who fully supports only a single release.

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.

Heh, heh, heh. Chris.

There are many (many!) components of operating system support.
How many of them to you know & understand?

And then you have to know & understand how the others do support.

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

 
Each time is more wrong than the last..

Of course. Every Apple religious zealot always resorts to claiming all fact
that they hate about Apple are wrong because Apple didn't advertise them.

Oh wait. Apple did.
And you're still saying that Apple is wrong about their own support.

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

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

Actually, the (few) adults on this newsgroup know two things about me.
1. I know Apple's support better than any of you zealots ever will, &
2. I am here to state fact - and to show the zealots for what they are.
