Hi badgolferman, You know, as well as I do, that Apple only fully supports one release. But I'm not at all sure that Jolly Roger (and the others) understand it. Bear in mind I'm the one who informed this newsgroup (long ago) that Apple only fully supports one major release for all known bugs. Had I not informed them, they'd never know this and they'd still be spouting the lie that Apple fully supports more than one major release. Meanwhile, as you saw from the links, Google and Samsung now support however many major releases occur in a seven year period - and - as you saw from the links - since Android 4.4 Google has been updating _all_ Androids monthly for other hotfix security and basic operating system updates. Still, Jolly Roger & the rest of them vehemently disagree, saying that they get iOS or macOS bugfixes every once in a while (as do all the common consumer operating systems) - and - to them - that's proof of "full" support. It's not. They didn't understand that full hotfix support is completely different than occasional egregious-bug hotfix support, such as what happened today. *Yet again, Apple forgot to sufficiently test desktop & iOS versions* What's no longer shocking is I know iOS better than anyone here, it seems, and I don't even care about iOS - I'm just not stupid. None of them understand how any operating system updates, badgolferman. And yet, they're supremely confident in spouting the lies they spew. They call all these facts, trolls. Bear in mind there's a reason why iOS is so full of holes. One of the reasons is only recently did Apple begin to do what every other common consumer operating system does, which is to patch only the bug and not update the whole release. *RSR patches (only available in iOS 16+)* Also bear in mind Apple's naming convention for update vs upgrade. *Distinguishing software updates from upgrades* I talk to you differently than I do to them since you're an educated adult so I provided you with the detail sufficient to know that I understand far better how iOS updates than does Jolly Roger and the rest of them. That's kind'a funny isn't it? I don't even care about iOS and I know more than they do.
