Agree with you that Apple had to go against their own rules and patch the
iOS 15 devices for _some_ of these huge and many holes, most in the kernel.

If Apple didn't patch the older release, people would be throwing them in
the river because the holes in iOS are astoundingly huge and many.

The kernel holes are the worst.

You'd think Apple would test their own kernel, but by Apple's own
admission, they found _zero_ of the holes that they fixed in this release.

Yes.
Zero.

It's yet more proof Apple doesn't even _look_ for holes, along with the
fact that Apple adds a brand new zero-day hole to iOS every month.

No smartphone has _more_ zero-day holes than the iPhone does.
And if you don't believe it - just look it up.

Me having to re-post a hundred times this fact isn't going to make
you read anything you don't want to read because you _hate_ facts.

Got a cite for those "rules"?

Thought not.

Yet they worked without trouble for quite some time...

You don't actually post facts.

I'm not sure you know what the word "fact" even means.

There were no such "rules." Security updates to iOS 15 are expected for
a couple of more years.

This sms guy is wrong as usual(tm).
And so are all the other naysayers who don't read Apple announcements.

It seems this sms guy lives in the north pole where there is no Internet.
How else could he be so clueless about what has been all over the news?
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/apple-clarifies-security-update-policy-only-the-latest-oses-are-fully-patched/

This latest release only bug fix policy applies to the macOS also.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/psa-apple-isnt-actually-patching-all-the-security-holes-in-older-versions-of-macos/

Why don't those who say it's not true read Apple's own announcements first?
https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/about-software-updates-depc4c80847a/web

Does this oblivious sms guy live so far away from civilization up at the
North Pole such that it takes years for Apple news to make it to his igloo?
