The people who leave their devices vulnerable instead of rebooting. Why not require a reboot for updating any app then?
Look, I get it. You spent hundreds of dollars on something, and want to feel good about it. On the particular issue of security updates though, it is a poor choice.
It’s a strawman because it’s an absurd notion. Much like your tu quoque. You are actually claiming that iOS is inherently insecure because firmware updates require a reboot. You are actually claiming that end users don’t upgrade because of this?! It’s absurd, not to say obtuse. I’m a huge fan of radical candor, so at the risk of reproach, what a stupid hypothesis!
I'm saying that iOS is insecure because it requires reboots for updating your browser. Remember when Windows required that? I have seen plenty of people with reboot notifications on their phone that they ignore for days or even weeks at a time, so no, it is not absurd.
Also, you should familiarize yourself with the definition of strawman. It does not a synonym for absurd.
I know perfectly well what a straw man is and your post is a classic example. You've deliberately and intentionally misrepresented the proposition that iOS is inherently insecure because updates require a reboot. It isn't. It is a stupid position to take, and seeing as I do not believe for a second that you as an individual are stupid, I can only assume that you're doing it deliberately to get one over on "fanboys". Please stop with your absurd propositions and stop being obtuse.
A strawman is misrepresenting the other person's argument. It is not stating falsehoods in general. Now that we have increased your vocabulary....
> iOS is inherently insecure because updates require a reboot. It isn't.
And why not? When applications with many dangerous exploits like iMessage and Safari require reboots to update, this puts users at risk. I already told you that I have seen people delay updates because they don't want to reboot, and I find it hard to believe that you haven't seen this behavior as well.
