My vague recollections of past vulns (and admitted dislike for Apple) leads me to believe the parent comment, so I did some Googling. "A prominent security researcher warned Apple about this dangerous vulnerability in mid-2008, yet the company waited more than 1,200 days to fix the flaw."[1] But hey, they did credit him in the release notes!
Granted, it's been several years now, but the parent did say "has a poor record", and a 3 year patch delay fits that description.
More recently, there was the 4-day gap[2] between patching "goto fail" on iOS vs. OS X. While not really the same point as the parent comment, it reflects poorly on their commitment to rapidly fixing things.
