The other evening I received a software update for my iPhone.  Version 14.4.1 was now available and installation would provide me with important security updates.  Likewise a recent update for my watch (os 7.3.2) addressed memory corruption issues with improved validation (I wish the same update was available in a pill form, as my memory corruption issues seem to be more frequent with each passing birthday.).  Like so many other businesses, Apple recognizes that in order to keep its market share, their products must be in a state of continuous improvement.  …
