iOS becomes good a year after release, then Apple stops you from installing stable version, forcing install of unstable version with unwanted features.



What I tend to do is to only install/buy late in the yearly cycle, then stay on that for a year.


Good approach. Sadly, it only lasts a few months before iOS with maximum hardening (lockdown mode + Apple Configurator supervised) falls to another zero day. Then the only option is DFU reinstall, which forces unstable iOS install.
