*Why does frequency of iOS releases make Apple users _feel_ safe?*
I admit I don't understand Apple iOS users in that they constantly tout the
frequency alone of iOS updates, as making them _feel_ more secure?
And yet, the facts are:
o Sheer frequency is utterly meaningless, and, worse
o Apple has proven time & again they don't sufficiently _test_ iOS releases
*In fact, Apple _purposefully_ harms the loyal user in iOS releases.*
Witness the *secret*, *drastic*, and intentionally *permanent* throttling.
You'd think that's as bad as iOS releases get, but it's worse than that.
*In fact, Apple _knowingly ships iOS insecurities_ of astonishing import!*
Witness the *knowingly* insecure broadcom-bug release, which was _touted_
as a security update even though Apple had the fix in hand well _before_
they shipped that iOS release that, only 10 days later, Apple had to
literally _destroy_ the release!
It still gets worse than that with the diarrhea that is iOS releases.
*Apple _uncaringly breaks things_ in the real world.*
Witness the fact that Apple literally and absolutely uncaringly said the
real world was just _"not supported"_ when people went to Apple support to
get back the Linux connectivity they had the day prior to their iOS update!
Let's not even start with the security bugs introduced in iOS releases!*
Witness that there have been three, yes, three almost-consecutive
lockscreen security holes introduced in recent iOS releases.
Then, there's the fact that more than half (usually it seems almost all) of
the so-called "iOS release" is really just a way to shove apps down your
throat (and to take some away!).
iOS is not an operating system release so much as drug-pushing apps.
What's interesting is that nobody can name the single most important thing
in almost any iOS release that is useful to consumers, where the lack of
anything even remotely useful is common to almost every iOS release, the
latest being just another one of them.
Witness the biggest deal in the latest iOS release is that the "News" app
can now do a basic task like hiding the sidebar in landscape orientation
for God's sake.
Given all those facts above... as a sentient adult... I'm curious...

Give an example of this.

First, look at the problem from a logical standpoint based on facts.
o In the wake of an astounding series of bugs, Apple tries to change OS releases
< http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-slowing-down-iphone-features-and-fixing-bugs-2018-2>
o A massive security hole has been found in iOS 11
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/xGV0X_Qfqc4/VqqWWwMXBAAJ>
o Apple iOS update secretly permanently & drastically throttled your CPU!
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/l79Xb6qx8Fs/rSHvuUjJAQAJ>
o Every time iOS updates, Apple causes new problems in the REAL world...
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/Z6xD4HaiyjE/Jr5yYrBUCAAJ>
o Evidence Apple cleverly manipulated iOS release notes on "power management" after the fact
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/KXhivHMvrlY/OuV1lgS8AgAJ>
o In the wake of an astounding series of bugs, Apple tries to change iOS releases
< http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-slowing-down-iphone-features-and-fixing-bugs-2018-2>
o How to work around the new Apple iOS7 infinite loop of mistrust bug on Linux?
<http://compgroups.net/comp.mobile.ipad/how-to-work-around-the-new-apple-ios7-infini/2983201>
o Broadcom bug Apple had the fix for gives hackers complete control over iOS
<https://bgr.com/2017/07/20/ios-10-3-3-update-fixes-iphone-broadpwn-malware/>
And the list goes on and on and on, Alan Baker.
Not that you'll ever _comprehend_ what they tell you about iOS, Alan.
