Common replies on HN when Apple mistakes are announced amount to something like: "Fixed in ___________".

But there is no way to go back and fix what has happened since 2021.

Some mistakes need to be addressed in the design phase before a product is released.

Otherwise the result is something like Microsoft Windows.

Updates, updates and more updates. Neverending fixes.

None can fix the past, the damage already done.

Compensation for losses is never paid.


To my knowledge, there are also critical exploits that simply have no mitigation. Thunderspy was disclosed to Apple nearly 5 years ago and there is still no credible solution to the threat it presented.
