It's no longer shocking how ignorant all the Apple religious nutcases are.
Don't believe a word from these ignorant Apple nutcase religious zealots.

Chris just spouted complete bullshit. 
Which is easily refuted by the facts.

Not only are these Apple religious nutcase zealots completely ignorant of
how iOS updates, but they're all so far to the left of the first
Dunning-Kruger quartile, that they're on Mount Stupid - because of their
extreme confidence in their utter ignorance.

I feel sorry for people like Cameo, Chris, Alan Baker, Jolly Roger, et al., 
because their whole lives they've been told they were stupid - but here -
on an Apple religious zealot nutcase newsgroup - they can spout bullshit.

The fact is Apple was forced to admit last year that they never once, in
their entire history, fully patched more than just one release per
platform. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/deployment/depc4c80847a/web

That means only a single iOS release is supported, currently iOS 17.
And only a single macOS release is fully supported.

Like every manufacturer, when the bugs are so grievous that people would be
throwing their iPhones over the next bridge, Apple does sporadic patches.

But even Apple says if your phone doesn't run iOS 17, it's vulnerable as
Apple will not and does not and has never fully patched anything more than
a single release for iOS and a single release for macOS.
