Apple's media-sponsored and fabricated reputation got a little tainted today when they (Apple) issue a warning to stop a software update for the Apple watch from being downloaded and installed after reports began informing Apple watch users that there was a likelihood of rotting the Apple watch.
I think it's fair to say that any such product should never need any software update whatsoever and that any such software update is equivalent to a breach of contract with the person who purchased the product.
A software update should, at best, for those ok to pay the risk of doing so, be actively turn on by the user himself in order for the product to be updated and risk arbitrary malfunctions.
Microsoft, Apple and many others should be in jail for this practice. Being giant market players, they have made as if any one who purchased the product must also pay for the risk of arbitrary malfunction resulting from changing its internal software. This is the equivalent of getting knocked in the face by a complete stranger in the street and then be sued by this stranger.
