    ...Arlen decides to release another inherently dishonest comparison.

    A: It's a *lot* shorter than you think...

    Note that people "think" Apple supports releases far longer than facts show since these dates are the *longest* possible support lengths we can get.

    For example, for Microsoft Windows XP...
    1. Windows XP was released on October 25, 2001
    2. The last known security update was released on May 14, 2019
    3. That is 6,421 days, or 17.59 years of security updates after release
    The point is a "security update" is not a "full update" by any definition.

    So why don't you mention any other Microsoft OS?

    Why is it you want to take a single data point from other companies'
    products and compare it against the AVERAGE for Apple products?


    To be clear, I'm all about the truth. The factual truth. Not marketing BS. Hence, this thread is about security updates. It's not about full updates.


    Lying with "facts" is a well known pattern from you.
