   But a lot of people do wait, for a variety of reasons, not the least of   
   which is the way iPhones are updated can cause a variety of slowdowns.

   One smartphone OS does "seamless updates" where the user isn't even aware   
   that updates are happening due to A/B partitions. Sadly iOS isn't that OS.

   But iOS is getting better with the advent of real patches in iOS 16 so   
   maybe Apple will add the seamless updates that the other has enjoyed for   
   years (where the OS updates monthly without the user even knowing it).
