    ... would be nice if you had added some commentary as to new features
    (if any), bug fixes (if any) and security updates (almost always).

    The dot means they have bug fixes in them.
    The 16 means those are all known bug fixes.
    The 15 means it's an older insecure release which Apple explicitly says
    they do NOT promise to add all _known_ bugfixes to.

    In practice, if iOS 15 is being bugfixed, it's pretty bad.
    Apple patches 15 only because people would throw it in the trash otherwise.

    We can look up how severe the bugs are, but the fact is Apple has never
    found a single zero-day bug in its history and worse, much worse,
    Apple doesn't even _look_ for them. Google does. But not Apple.

    Otherwise it wouldn't always be Google finding most of the zero day bugs.

    Also bear in mind no smartphone has more zero-day bugs than the iPhone
    which is well known and if you don't know that, then look it up.

    It's basically one zero-day a month for iOS for years and years on end.
    No smartphone has that many zero day bugs.

    Only the iPhone.

    If you don't believe it, look it up because everyone knows this fact.
    And to those too stupid to look it up - that's why your so stupid.

    Golly, Arlen! What WOULD we do without you?

    The 16 means those are all known bug fixes.

    Because Android magically provides fixes for UNknown bugs!

    The 15 means it's an older insecure release which Apple explicitly says
    they do NOT promise to add all _known_ bugfixes to.

    Cite, please!

    LOL!

    You claim to have graduated from university somewhere, and that's what
    passes for your logic?

    Why don't you show us?

    You're just making shit up.

    "you're".

    maybe next time you'll look it up so that you don't appear as stupid as
    you actually are.

    I admit. I made a mistake. I typed "your" instead of "you're".

    And your claim I need to 'look it up' isn't really something you should
    say, but I understand that you're too stupid to realize I rarely make this mistake - so - in your complete ignorance - you think I _always_ do it.

    But I don't - it's just you're too ignorant to realize that fact.

    Nonetheless, I openly admit I typed "your" instead of "you're" in that
    post. And, I agree with your criticism too, that, since I was saying people like Alan Baker are stupid because they can't look anything up...

    ... if I'm going to bother to insult someone, I should at least use the
    common courtesy of insulting them while using good grammar to do it.

    Mea culpa.

    As for the well known _fact_ that only iOS 16 is promised to get all known bugfixes, and the as well known _fact_ that iOS has more zero-days than Android, and the well known fact that Android is supported far longer than
    iOS is... what's interesting is I know you iKooks don't believe in those
    facts.

    You _hate_ facts.
    You are so stupid that you request proof of every sentence.

    Even proof for things which are extremely well known to everyone.
    But you.

    Even so, I have already provided, oh, dozens perhaps, of articles showing
    those facts, but it wouldn't matter to iKooks if I provided thousands.

    They won't read them.

    If they read them, they won't believe them.

    And, if they believe them, they'll find a "weasel word" to claim the casual statement on Usenet is (to them) not correct.

    It's what makes iKooks so stupid after all.

    1. iKooks like Alan Baker & Jolly Roger & nospam don't read the news.
    2. Hence, they're _completely ignorant_ of what Apple does.
    3. Even if you tell them - they won't believe it - and they ask for proof
    4. Yet, they won't believe the proof (actually they don't even read it)

    Even if they do finally read it and believe it... what I've learned about
    you ignorant low IQ uneducated iKooks is you _forget_ it in minutes.

    All this is what makes you iKooks so ignorant and stupid after all.
    I've never met, in the flesh, people as stupid as you iKooks are.

    You don't know anything about Apple.
    Because you refuse to believe all facts about Apple you don't like.

    Worse, you can't look up anything - which is _why_ you're ignorant.
    They go together - hand in hand.

    You're ignorant that iOS is the _shortest_ supported smartphone OS.
    You're ignorant that iOS has the _most_ zero-day bugs of smartphones.
    You're ignorant that iOS 16 only (not iOS 15) is promised for all fixes.
    etc.

    Hell, you're even unaware that 0% of current iPhones have the common
    hardware that 75% of current Androids models come with (sd & 3.5mm).

    And, you're ignorant that a 5W brick can't "magically" make a magsafe or qi work at full potential, even as you actually _believe_ in the impossible.

    Everything about you iKooks reverts back to how ignorant you are.
    And it all boils down to the fact you can't look anything up.

    Which is _why_ you're ignorant of all things about Apple products.
