I've heard complaints from others that Apple is getting to be a pain in
the ass with all the regular updates and upgrades of their software.
It used to be Windows that had that reputation.



Apple does update its mainline OS every year or so, but not frequent
enough to be annoying, and usually the upgrades are minor and incremental.

The IO used on the phones and iPads seems to get a major update about
every eight months. The updates can be installed easily.

I guess I am referring more to iTunes. It seems to be either updating
or trying to get me to buy something constantly.



Indeed, iTunes does get updated more often. Apple uses the program for
many purposes, including managing the music on various devices, selling
music and videos, selling software, as the front end for software buying
for its phones and tablets and increasingly as the way to distribute
software for its desktop and laptop machines. Everytime there is a new
or updated function, the suite gets an update.
