It’s not just an Apple thing, though they are the worst offender, especially because you can’t roll back iOS updates. But with nearly every piece of software I work with now, updating is always one step forward, two steps back. I just want it to keep working the way it’s working.
And before anyone jumps in and says “but… but… what about security updates???” to that I say, fuck it. With my threat model I don’t need it, and I’d rather take whatever the minimal risk is than deal with my software constantly getting more aggravating with every update. What point is there in keeping software up-to-date if it stops working the way you need it to?
Things like this is why I don’t update.
