If Apple has to release the patch for the same vulnerability, it has to push a “system update”.
And they do, quickly, and at worst it takes me 5 more minutes to reboot my phone. Meanwhile on the Pixel 6 Pro, my phone maybe couldn’t have called 911 for a week.
I was talking about iOS updates for things Apple doesn’t have de bundled from os updates. Since iOS updates are controlled by Apple and not carriers, it’s not similar to Android.
@phillaholic@ink if it takes a week for an update to get to you, you can blame your carrier for that. Google pushes updates very quickly to unlocked phones.
It’s a phone Google makes, with Software they make, a security vulnerability that Google discovered, which they alerted Google to 90 days before going public, a deadline they set, and I should blame AT&T for being responsible for this situation? Uh huh.
Meanwhile the carrier has nothing to do with anything iPhone related other than carrier settings.
@phillaholic carriers have to “approve” updates; Google, Samsung, or whoever is your vendor can’t actually push an update because the carrier must sign it with their key. Was it Google’s fault for the vuln? Yeah. Was it AT&T’s fault for your update to take 1 week longer to roll out to you? Yeah.
You see that as the carrier waiting too long, I see it as Google having 90 days and waiting until the last minute. Regardless, Google allowing a third party to handle is a defective design.
