    I think the “you must have all the latest updates or you’re a security risk” thing is a bit overblown, possibly by the companies themselves who want to make sure you install all their latest spyware.

      I can promise you it isn’t. Security updates on a device that’s connected to the internet at all times is very important.

          And Apple update even old iOS devices. I have a 14 year old iPad that still gets security updates on iOS 12.
