On the other hand, at least you can get those updates on your older iOS devices. Most Android devices have never seen updates at all, and of the ones who have, most of them will never see more than a few minor updates above what they came with.

At the very worst, if you're paranoid, you can just use the device for non-critical tasks. That's better than not being able to use it for anything, which is what happens to your iPad if you get unlucky and upgrade it beyond the point of no return.

Then iOS9 delivered ... much worse performance regressions than iOS7->iOS8, regressions so bad that a new device needed to be purchased.
