Let's summarize, at a high level what "kinds" of bugfix updates exist.

Firstly you need to stick with common nomenclature. The are updates for
several different and overlapping reasons: fix security issues, fix bugs,
add features, change functionality.

Not everything is a bugfix.

Hi Chris,

Stop acting like Alan Baker saying nobody understands anything but he.
Just stop it.

It's clear you have absolutely no idea how either iOS or Android updates.

Trust me when I say I understand how Android & iOS update software.
Yet I have no confidence that you Apple trolls understand how they do.

There's no point in getting angry at yourself for getting something wrong. Remember you *want* people to correct you, as you've said many times.

For years, for example, you Apple trolls claimed iOS wasn't monolithic
when, everyone who understood anything about iOS knew that it was
monolithic. You Apple trolls were confused by something as simple as a
delta which Apple used (as does Microsoft) for updating individuals.

And for years you've got it wrong. iOS updates are not monolithic.

It was only in iOS 16 that the concept of a hotfix RSR existed in iOS.

Which is likely why iOS is the most exploited mobile OS in history.

Yet again you're making a claim based on false premise. It's been explained
to you very clearly why CISA is incomplete and inaccurate.

And, it took *years* for me to get it through your thick skulls, Chris,
that only Apple only fully supports only a single release at any one time.

And you still don't understand the different support models between ios and android. Despite Apple only fully supporting the current version iOS it
still supports iphones far longer then android.

Like in my example you conveniently snipped - you don't like uncomfortable truths do you? - the Galaxy A21 and iphone SE 2nd gen were released about
the same time yet only the SE is still fully supported and will be at least another year.

Being different does not automatically mean worse.

Even today, after years of trying to get into your thick Apple troll skulls how Android updates, you still have no clue that Android 10+ updates
monthly every single Android phone that is on the Internet, Chris.

And you can't even read. I explained to you very well how it works and how
it is flawed. Being wilfully ignorant is a character flaw, Arlen.
