    OMG, does this ever stop. The problem was that they wanted iOS 15 for
    the iPhone 13, even though it wasn't tested and ready for prime time.


    I don't know. It seems to me that security fixes are a good thing.

    It's revealing how fantastically ignorant these apologists like Wilf are.

    Apologists think it's a "good thing" Apple has more exploited zero-day
    holes than any other operating system in common use on the planet.

    Nobody adds zero-day holes at the consistent huge rate that Apple does.
    It used to be only once per month - now it's almost two per month this year!

    Do these apologists have any idea that Apple doesn't ever find these holes?

    it a good candidate for LPEs exploits in chains (WebContent, etc.)."

    Since you can't actually know that's true...

    ...since you purposely avoid even trying to find out...

    ...you're just a liar.

    You are such a worthless shitbag troll.

    Why is Lewis (just like Apple is) so afraid of mere facts?

    <https://cnnews9.com/2019/09/08/apple-angry-at-google-for-bursting-iphone-security-myth-bubble-mspoweruser/>

    I find it interesting these apologists like Lewis blame people for providing facts that they, themselves, are completely ignorant of (as Lewis only gets
    his "news" from the Apple marketing web site).
    *Please stop sending us Apple bugs, we have too many already*
    <https://www.cyberscoop.com/ios-zero-day-zerodium-high-supply/>

    Lewis blamed the OP & everyone who provided facts iOS 13 & iOS 14 were the worst releases on record,even though those are well known well cited facts.
    *iOS 14: Apple Changing How It Develops Its Software After Buggy iOS 13 Debut*
    <https://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/ios-14-development-overhaul-13-bugs-apple-process-2136708>

    And Lewis now blames them for providing facts iOS 15 is on track to be a similar clusterfuck of zero-day holes.
    *Apple Releases Urgent iPhone and iPad Updates to Patch New Zero-Day Vulnerabilities*
    <https://thehackernews.com/2021/10/apple-releases-urgent-iphone-and-ipad.html>

    In fact, Lewis calls all facts he doesn't happen to like, "trolls."

    Why?
    Why is Lewis afraid of mere facts?

    Nobody on the adults OS newsgroups is afraid of the facts; it's just Apple.
