It never ceases to amaze me how iPhone users think a bump in a version years down the road, keeps them secure while the browser in iOS needs whole god damn system update to upgrade.
You wait for that patch for a Safari vulnerability for whenever Apple feels like it but Android devs can push patch and deploy within days or hours. And also sideload it, if a really important fix would take a long time through regular channels. And also there's more than 1 browser engine on Android, so all users aren't vulnerable to the same exploit at the same time.
But hey, keep on swallowing that Apple marketing wholesale though.
Google also split Security Updates from main OS updates so that they can control and push them independently of the manufacturer. So you might miss out on fancy features from Android XX or whatever, but at least vulnerabilities will continue to be patched
Funny how my reply to this dimwit comment was removed but telling me to swallow Apple marketing wholesale is totally a-ok.
Fuck mods.
