Well it wouldn't I guess if it got hacked .. it speaks more and more to Apple's in-house Quality Assurance or lack thereof, than anything else.

And this post speaks more to you not knowing how software development works.
Why do even bother. The fact that your device is jailbroken is already main security problem.
I updated my 6s Plus and iPad Air 2. Didn't slow anything down. Works just fine. Took all of couple of minutes to update. Thank you Apple for staying on top of these exploits and watching my back. More than I can say for the competition.
that ain't my job buddy - but I did pay Apple $1,400 for an iPP and $800 for an iPhone to supposedly avoid this.
There are so many updates because there was so much wrong with iOS 9.
I'm glad iOS 10 is coming out soon. There are some questionable design choices in iOS 10, but man it flies! Even with the weird interface changes, it's so much better than iOS 9.
10.0 will be better than 9.3.5 and that's remarkable.

If you paid Apple to avoid updates, you screwed up. Go get a Lenovo Android phone. You won't have to worry about OS updates on that device.
Whenever you jailbreak your device you give all your private information to the Chinese (or other group) Hackers that created the exploit! No need to fix the barn door after all of the horses have escaped.
they're patching security holes and that speaks volumes about Apple's software program.
no invites for september 7th event but an iOS 9 update?
Another first world problem. Keeping iOS 9.x.x secure has no direct bearing on when or if the invites go out... Curious, do you walk to school or buy your lunch?

Who said it was September 7th?? No-one.
They'll announce it next week. Keep your hair on.
This isn't what some people's idea of what some utopian imaginary experience should be like that they somehow attribute to Apple, but it doesn't have much to do with reality.
I suppose you could spin the exploits as "Apple missing something"... but as complex as iOS is, bugs will always be found... so fixing it is all they can do... and it would appear that they are committed to that, at least.
Unfortunately that is quite unlikely.

That they are fixing things, as should be the case.
You want an iOS update to fix Macrumors? I don't think they are the same company genius.
Fixes to hacks and exploits bring em on Apple. Nice that a company takes my security seriously. I will take all the fixes I can get for hackers trying to steal my info or get into my phone.
It's truely amazing anyone would have anything negative to say about software updates to stay on top of latest hacks. Unless they are the hackers.....Dah.
Actually having the simple easy ability to turn off messages telling you to update every time you unlock your device is not exactly being negative. I shall take a look at the other thread CDM linked to and see what it says, of course if you had the option to uninstall updates like ever other platform it also wouldn't be an issue.
This. And the last minor iOS update straight up wiped my phone, so I'm not updating anymore.
Even without that problem, excessively frequent updates are annoying. Each requires installation time, re-setup of iCloud (which poses its own risks), etc. For those who'd rather wait a bit and get every second or third update, there are annoying popups that bug you every few hours. This is almost Windows 10 level.

No, I'm a guy who understands how software development works. Mozilla patches their things, Google patches theirs, Microsoft patches theirs, the Linux group patches that kernel ... all of them do security patches. If this was about the latest Patch Tuesday, I'd be saying the same thing. This isn't about Apple. This is about software, something you obviously know nothing about.
Well, i like updates, but i hate the forced update notifications and killing the jailbreaking.
I haven't jailbroke, but want the option

I'd argue that a secure device with fixed known vulnerabilities and performance optimizations, such as the ones in this update, contributes to the "user experience"
Users just want to use their devices with little interruption *and* be secure.
Apple will a,ways try to kill jailbreaks because jailbreaks are security issues. That's just how JB works.

According to some people, the fact that they have to patch at all is the issue.
