or waiting (hopelessly) for a patch from my vendor
If this is an actual in the wild exploitable issue, there will be patches very quickly for handsets in the support period, as quickly as there is for iOS. This has been the case repeatedly before as well.
What a weird post in general. Maybe wait to complain about this a month down the line or so? Instead it's just effectively noisy rhetoric.
- sequence7 9y agoThe support period for an iPhone is at least 3 years of regular patches and feature updates. Most Android phones on the market will have a 'support period' of 12 months if you're lucky. My point is that the roll-out of updates to Android is unacceptably poor and inconsistent and relies on optimism on the part of the user. The use of the word hopelessly was probably unnecessarily dramatic I agree but I'll leave it there so your comment makes sense.
- Piskvorrr 9y agoThere's a patch for iOS? Wonderful! Oh wait, there isn't.
- endorphone 9y agoDid you intend to post that reply to me? Because of course there isn't a patch for iOS yet, and when there is it will leave out hundreds of millions of devices that no longer receive patches. My point was that if one wants to stomp their feet and do the easy "Damn Android" complaint, at least wait until the basis is sound.
- Piskvorrr 9y agoAh, you're right, sorry: that was intended one reply up, where the poster seems to claim that iOS is already patched.
