iOS 10 Now Installed on Nearly 80% of Active iOS Devices

But google does which can explain the android lag, according to this logic.
Pc world experience refutes the video according to current logic.

You mean your fictionalized guess as to what actually using a PC is like based on rumors you heard 20 years ago and are keeping tightly held in a closed mind.

On a good day my iPad 2 did t really handle more than 3 tabs.

Funny, my iPad 1 which is still in use on iOS 3 certainly does. And the iPad 2 was basically the same thing with more ram and a faster CPU. Another fictionalized guess as to reality?

Its why Apple is the industry leader in smartphone planned obsolscence.

I'm pretty sure planned obsolescence is a myth

https://www.engadget.com/2017/02/03/apple-accused-of-intentionally-breaking-facetime-on-ios-6/

"iOS 7 altered the way that FaceTime worked, reducing the load on Akamai's servers and potentially saving Apple a fat stack of cash. But some users of older handsets, in this case the iPhone 4 and 4S, were still clinging to the older operating system. So, the company allegedly let a security certificate lapse well ahead of time, breaking FaceTime for iOS 6 users. At the time, it was described as a bug that was only fixed if people upgraded to the newer OS."

"
Apple engineer Patrick Gates sent an email asking what the company had done "in April around iOS 6 to reduce relay utilization." In response, engineer Gokul Thirumalai responded by saying "It was a big user of relay bandwidth. We broke iOS 6, and the only way to get FaceTime working again is to upgrade to iOS 7."

But iPhone 4 and 4S users upgrading to iOS 7 found that the user experience was actually pretty damn bad. To quote AnandTech's detailed review of the operating system, "performance however on the iPhone 4 and iPad 3 leaves a lot to be desired." That same piece added, "the iPhone 4 stutters through all of its animations." and "generally feels like it's on its last legs.""

iOS 10 started the battery problem for me and it hasn't been fixed. Not on my device.

So if 70% to 80% of occurrence has been reduced, that means iOS 10, compared to iOS 9, effectively created additional 20% ~ 30% of battery problem for iPhone users.

Sounds like perhaps more for something at https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ed-iphone-6-and-6s-shutdowns-updated.2034134/

As far as occurrences, well, that's assuming there weren't similar battery issues for some people with iOS 9 (or even before).

Once again, my Android phone gets security updates outside of an OS release, as well as other funtionality features.

And NO ONE is complaining about getting security updates. The issue in question is Apple bragging about its wholly artificial BS metric and others comparing it to Android in a negative way without understanding how Android actually works.

But this is planet Earth where people overreact when they don't have all necessary information.

You can't always separate security patches from general software updates. That's the point.

For example, many attack vectors have come through enhancements to the safari browser. You might not be able to get a patch for an older browser vulnerability unless you get the newer safari which is linked to the newer operating system.

So an older OS can essentially be unpatchable without all the new OS stuff in the latest version.

I think people have a headache from the old world of windows pc's and updates that took ages to get. If you have a year worth of code between updates then your more likely to break something and it's harder to fix. Companies like google and Apple release regularly so that this disruption is minimized.

On the whole frequent updates are best for everyone. I think the benefits outweigh the downsides.

I get monthly security updates to my S7s without having to upgrade the OS.

My point was that using Apple's full OS update setup with regards to security against Android's model is not really comparing oranges to oranges.

The OSes are too different in how they handle this.
