So Oracle, Google and Microsoft get burned when something like this happens, but Apple gets excused?! Typical.



A comparable situation would be Microsoft patching 7 & 8 desktops before patching Surface because there's many more PCs than Surfaces out there.

I'm not saying it's a great move, but if you're going to prioritize, doesn't it make sense to start with what you know will protect the most users ?


I don't think there are many shared resources at Apple between the iOS and OSX teams, at least as would be doing OS updates to fix this.


So Oracle, Google and Microsoft have a larger install base of their mobile OSes compared to their desktop OSes?
