That doesn't conflict with what I said. Some security vulnerabilities
exist in newer versions of software rather than older versions of
software. It is a fact that Apple is patching bugs in iOS 15 and iOS 16
today along with iOS 17. It's also a fact that 94% of devices run iOS
17. It's also a fact that Apple provides major upgrades and minor
updates to older iPhone models for a longer period of time than their
competitors.
