After what seems an ice age of optimizing apps, the update has finished. Confirmed its the September security update.

what's the big deal with the security updates? I think I must be the only one who isn't a fan of getting one every month... I mean unless I see some noticeable optimization along with the updates i'm fine with getting one like every 2-3 months at max...

i'm sorry but sitting through all the app optimization is annoying

Peace of mind. I like knowing my phone is as secure as it can be. To me, regular security updates are more important than fast OS updates.

I get that... I honestly do but I see them just like the oxygen mask in airplanes... if the plane crashes those masks really didn't do anything...u get security updates monthly so that means a hacker/bad person has all those days in between to release something...the security updates only protect against already known attacks...

That's my qualm with the security updates... it's like a false sense of security

Or what it means is that the security companies that Google hires to find holes. Finds a hole that has yet to be exploited by any known hacks. They patch them with a monthly update to make sure that it is in fact secure for the everyday user.
