All software has bugs. Some of those bugs are just annoyances, like apps that don’t work perfectly. But some of them can allow other software or communication protocols to do things to the phone that they shouldn’t be able to do. When a version of the software is first released, nobody knows what the bugs are. But then they’re discovered and can be exploited. From that point on, it’s risky to continue using that version of the software.
