Earlier this week, Apple released a document clarifying its terminology
and policies around software upgrades and updates. Most of the
information in the document isn't new, but the company did provide one
clarification about its update policy that it hadn't made explicit
before: Despite providing security updates for multiple versions of
macOS and iOS at any given time, Apple says that only devices running
the most recent major operating system versions should expect to be
fully protected.

In other words, while Apple will provide security-related updates for
older versions of its operating systems, only the most recent upgrades
will receive updates for every security problem Apple knows about.

------

-- Does Android provide ALL security updates for every major version of
software release?

-- Is there a reason not to upgrade to the newest major version of iOS
within a few weeks of release?

-- How old must an iPhone be before it can support the newest iOS major
version release?
