Now you issue a new OS update, and now you see that some phones no longer work because of this new security issue, that was not caused by you, but instead caused by a 3rd party. Is it your responsibility to fix it?

Personally I'm on the fence. I would hate to have my phone broken thanks to this. It would be nice to be able to roll-back to the previous OS, or to see Apple roll out a program to fix the issue at a reduced cost, but I don't think they would have to if they didn't want to.
no, it does not make sense, the car industry tried this and fought through any court and lost.

and I think we agree that security issues on a car can cost lives - opposed to iPhones

this is just a dick move by one of the most greediest companies ever
