Apple used to have a really good security record, it's mind boggling they blew it all up just to force Liquid Glass on users.

For those not in the loop, Apple used to provide security patches for supported older iOS versions. They changed a lot of behavior around the release of Liquid Glass (iOS 26, MacOS Tahoe). Starting with iOS 18.7.3, they only release patch versions for the iPhone XS and XR. They've repeated this, through to 18.7.6 now.

So much goodwill and trust, obliterated.

Those trillions of dollars aren't going to find their way into the pockets of the shareholders if they have to pay some rubes to maintain old stuff!

I'm always surprised what isn't a national security issue.

It's especially glaring since Apple just released a fix for a Coruna exploit that patched iOS 15.

That's interesting, as they released security patches for iOS 15 devices like iPhone 6 as recent as a week ago.

Apple was always defeated in every pwn2own competition. I'm not sure if their security is any better or worse than anyone else.
