Update, update, update

OK, over the last few days I have updated my,

MacOS (45minutes)
IOS (2 iPhones and 2 iPads) (25 minutes each)
Apple Watch (45 minutes)
Airport Extreme (10 minutes)
Airport Express (10 minutes)

There seem to be far more Apple updates popping up over the last few months than I can remember for a long time.

Any chance of a break to let me get on with life ;-)

You should try Windows 10. Not only are there daily updates, but their Cumulative Updates will bring your system to a total standstill - usually at the most inconvenient time.

Give Apple credit for staying on top of security risks and keeping things moving forward.

Tip: If you are update adverse, avoid the Beta programs. In the Beta programs, updates occur every 2-3 weeks initially, then weekly, and even daily as the GA release nears.

That has been my experience as well and why Windows 10 will not be an option when I move on from macOS. It's insane.

I'll give 'em partial credit. Staying on top of security risks is good, the way they choose to do it, not so much. I give them no credit for how they handle security updates on iOS... There are times when Apple will release a security update for not just the latest version of iOS but for a previous version as well (because of the number of devices limited to that older version and the severity of the security issue). If device "A" is running iOS 10 (but is capable of running on iOS 11) and Apple releases security updates for both iOS 10 and iOS 11, Apple will require the user to update "A" to iOS 11 in order to get the security fix... even though that fix exists for 10.
