Automatic software updates go into effect on a long delay while security breaches make it more important than ever to have up to date software.

The details of Apple’s dialed back automatic updates policy broke by the grace of Reddit.

Federighi wrote back “We incrementally rollout new iOS updates by first making them available for those that explicitly seek them out in Settings, and then 1-4 weeks later (after we’ve received feedback on the update) ramp up to rolling out to devices with auto-update enabled.“

MacRumors noted that when highly engaged Apple users manually apply updates and provide feedback, the company has time to make tweaks before the whole public has the new software.

Running updates on a delayed fuse is forces the tech giant to be more diligent in its programming and ace new software releases.

Apple will have to run a clean operation to satisfy their massive market share of consumers.
