Anybody get a bitter sweet feeling when ever these reported and fixed security exploits announcements happen?

It's good that users aren't going to risk getting hacked by such vulnerabilities, but its bad that users can no longer uses these exploits to gain administrative control over their property.

Nevermind right to repair, how about right to own...

The fact that you're even being downvoted for this shows just how far the authoritarian control-freaks have taken over and brainwashed everyone with paranoia to jump right into their jail.

Apple isn't going to force you to update your device, so you can stay on an older version if you want jailbreaks.

Apple doesn't allow downgrading (and it's gotten even harder with Touch/Face ID not being downgradable with SHSH blobs), so people accidentally update, or get their hardware replaced in a repair, are SOL.

[MrStonedOne]

users buying new devices that automatically update on activation aren't going to have that choice.

Users that care about having control over their devices shouldn't be buying Apple hardware in the first place. Not that I support Apple's anti-consumer practices, but if you buy one of their products, you have to know what you're getting yourself into.

If you want a phone that you have control over, don't buy one from Apple... At this point in time, choices are mostly limited to Librem and PinePhone.

[bamboozled]

FairPhone too?

The users of these devices know they are serfs in the Apple ecosystem. People who want devices they can control buy other devices.
