Alyssa Atkinson have you ever considered this is just a marketing ploy by Apple to keep them in the forefront of your mind.

I grew up with Apple products, from the very first Mac, and have been a big fan. But now I find these constant updates extremely invasive and annoying. These updates happen across all platforms you use to sync your phone, including Microsoft. My husband recently got a Microsoft notebook which I surprisingly found to be extremely well designed and better than an Apple.
