    For some unknown reason, the company has backtracked and is no longer
    letting users stay on iOS 14 with security updates.

    Pretty sure that everyone understands the reason!

    there is no conspiracy. the reason is simple: apple did a cost-benefit calculation and determined that they did not want to maintain two
    separate tracks for the small minority of users who want to stay on ios
    14.

    With each iOS release, Apple increases the surveillance boiling temperature.

    Bearing in mind how brilliant Apple marketing is, I suspect nospam is partly correct in assuming Apple planned this very carefully to get them out of the debacle they were in on their CSAM disaster.

    Like the frog placed in the boiling water, Apple realized even the normally cluelessly gullible Apple customer jumped out of that idiotic CSAM pot.

    Apple said then that their "only mistake" wasn't CSAM but that their mistake was in not bringing the boiling water to boil slowly with _you_ in the pot.

    This move to force people onto CSAM just adds the slow boil that they introduced recently back toward the CSAM surveillance on the iphone.

    With each iOS release, Apple increases the surveillance boiling temperature.

    Just pathetic.

    Your worst enemy, the one you _hate_ the most, JR, is a fact about Apple.

    What _adults_ (if any are on this newsgroup) should notice, Jolly Roger, is that you can be predicted years in advance as to how you respond to facts.

    It's a given _all_ your responses are of a low-IQ fifth-grade hate-filled vitriolic bully - but let's look at how you _respond_ to facts, shall we?

    1. Any fact you don't like about Apple you will brazenly deny _is_ a fact.
    2. Any fact you can't deny - you will _still_ brazenly deny that fact, JR.
    3. Finally, you will fabricate unending _excuses_ when you can't deny it.

    *But why are you, Lewis & nospam so filled with hatred for mere facts?*

    The real problem, JR, is you three apologists violently _hate_ any and all facts about Apple products - which is why you claim all facts are BAD.

    It's really that simple.
    When you can't claim all facts are BAD, you attack people with facts as BAD.

    Your worst enemy, the one you _hate_ the most, JR, is a fact about Apple. Especially when, as in this case, the _entire world_ is claiming that fact.

    Even when the entire world is telling you a fact you don't want to hear, you "protect" yourself from that fact by exclaiming that the entire world is out
    to get Apple - as you just did there.

    Without you, nospam & Lewis to protect Apple at all costs... who else would?

    More snipping of context and ad hominem attacks. God you're boring.

    I think we've found the crux of Areleen's psychosis, s/he/it is in
    desperate need to be noticed, even going so far as to claim 'enemy'
    status from people who don't care enough about him to think about him
    at all outside the confines of this newsgroup.

    That also explains his desperate attempts to avoid killfiles with his constant nymshifting and his repeated postings of the same bullshit.

    He is a petulant toddler screeching "Look at me!" and cannot
    comprehend that no one cares but his sock puppets.

    He is a complete narcissistic bully with impressive delusions of
    grandeur. Psychologists would have a field day studying him.

    You are literally the only person in this news group making such a
    claim, you complete doofus. You're outmatched, old fart. And the Usenet
    record is clear for all to see. : )

    C'mon, you should be fairer to me than you are being Jolly Roger. :)
    You Apple kooks will defend everything Apple to the death - no matter what.

    You are a high school dropout who, in later life tried to earn his GED three times, and failed each time... *who believes _everything_ Apple feeds you*.

    I'm quite different from you in that I'm rather well educated at the finest schools in the country and I worked for decades retiring early in Silicon Valley startups showing that I own stellar adult comprehension skills.

    Yet we're both users and owners of Apple equipment (although I also own Android, Windows, and Linux equipment at the same time as Apple stuff).

    The biggest difference between us, besides your lack of intelligence, is
    that you own a brain of a small child who believes everything Apple fed you.
