    Not all components included will get security updates for as long as their OS will.

    Agree that instant updates are not essential for many people, but you dont need 0days to abuse publicly disclosed vulnerabilities.

      What components are you talking about? Can you provide some sort of source or reference or something? Are you maybe talking about the data modem?

        Yes a lot of parts. The Kernel is made for that specific SOC and may not get updated.

        Then you have various parts like the modem are made by Samsung, Broadcomm etc. and need their firmware updates.
