That's not just mobiles either.. Windows 10 does the same :(

- Silhouette 5y agoSure it's nice for the average joe soap not turning their machine into a botnet node It is, but we should really stop tolerating that as an argument for mandatory updates. Enabling security updates by default on Windows editions not intended to be professionally managed would be sufficient to achieve most or all of the same benefits without imposing the much-criticised costs to users. The same argument holds for other tech that wants to force changes in behaviour and/or phone-home behaviour on its buyer/owner/user once the purchase is completed, including almost any device associated with the word "smart".
