| > Shatters Apple's argument that all of these hurdles are better for security. Sorry I don't buy that this "shatters" anything besides peoples misguided assumptions that anything can be perfectly secure without being fully disconnected. Apple's iOS 16 supports iphone 8 which was released in 2017, 5 years ago.
Apple's iOs 15 supported iphone 6 which was released in 2015, 7 years ago. > Samsung’s previous promise to provide three years of upgrades and ensures millions of Galaxy users have access to the latest features for security, productivity, visual experience and more, for as long as they own their device. https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-galaxy-os-upgrade-one-ui... They only _just_ changed to 4 years, last year. > Samsung will now provide up to five years of security updates to help protect select Galaxy devices They do mention 5 years of updates but only for _select_ galaxy devices (presumably the top of the line). --- I am assuming anyone rooting/flashing is taking way more risks and security concerns into their own hands. But in length of support/security updates alone apple is winning. I also wonder how long it actually takes a vulnerability patch (let's say for a zero day) to get out on android and then through OEM security updates. (I haven't been android in too long to know this.) Apple actually just released a way for them to do this and have already used it once, they call it "Rapid Security Responses" (which you can switch off although idk why you would). https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204204 |
