Comment on Is it safe to use free movies sites on a phone, specifically iOS devices?
pop@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoBrowser updates on iOS devices are tied to system updates and people put off a system update longer that an app update. So no, not as safe as OTA updates independent of the OS, as they are on every other god damn operating system.

True, that is a thing to consider. I have to use an iPhone because I get it through my place of employment, and if I had a nickel for every time the actual OS postponed an automatic update because I wasn’t connected to power / I seemed busy / the stars just weren’t aligned properly, I would probably have over a dollar.
In that respect, I like my desktop (Debian) so much better: I can set it to update the OS automatically, which includes all installed software (as long as it’s installed through the official repository), and it will let me know if something failed to upgrade, so I can do it by hand. Also, they rock at getting critical security updates out in a timely manner. I’m not sure how much I trust Apple with that.
