Un-updated phones are unlocked doors, but with the internet the whole world walks through your neighborhood every night and knows you're on vacation (no risk associated with breaking in).
Edit: the flip side is that probably half your neighbors have their doors unlocked too.
- Throwawayaerlei 4y agoWould be more accurate to say un-updated phones are unlocked doors you know are unlocked. Up to date? Slow update cycles measured in weeks suggest for some portion of some number of cycles they're also unlocked. Worse is how some fraction of updates are very bad news, thus people who care about this delay until there's enough confirmation an update won't do something nasty to something they depend on, which can go all the way to basic phone and SMS usage.
