The total number of iPhones is not really relevant to the discussion, the number of iPhone models is. Testing a fix on an enumerable number of iPhone models in the wild (lets say iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5c, 5s, 6, 6+) is nowhere near the complexity of testing Windows against the variety of devices that it would need to be validated against.
- pgeorgi 12y agoFew of these issues are in driver level code, so the variety of devices doesn't play into that. The most recent one is somewhere in the User Profile Service, which is about as far away from the hardware as possible. Shellshock didn't need testing on every possible hardware combination it runs on either, did it?
