Apple Announces New Lockdown Mode on iOS 16 With 'Extreme' Level of Security

 

8th July, 2022:

Apple's new Lockdown mode on iOS 16 and macOS 13 Ventura will protect users against cyberattacks from private companies with state-sponsored spyware such as activists, government employees, and other organizations. The new Lockdown mode is enabled in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS 13 Ventura beta 3.


Apple said it lockdown mode has been available since the arrival of the third beta versions of iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura released yesterday. The nifty security feature will then be available to everyone later this year (expected in September) when the company releases iOS 16 and other systems to the general public. And while the new feature is primarily intended for people who are the target of cyberattacks, Apple says it can be used by virtually anyone. So if you feel threatened, you can activate it as well.

Lockdown mode is off by default, of course, but if you want to turn it on, just go to the application Settings > Privacy & Security. It is important to add that activating this mode requires restarting the iPhone and entering the passcode from the device. You turn it off the same way you turned it on. However, a restart is necessary.

Apple wrote in an official statement that if the mode <Lockdown Mode> active, offers the user an “extreme” level of device security by severely restricting or disabling various functions of apps and websites.

At startup, lockdown mode includes the following protections:

Most attachment types except images are blocked in the Messages app, and some features like link previews are unavailable.

Incoming FaceTime calls from people you’ve never called will be blocked. Incoming invitations to other Apple services from people you haven’t previously invited will also be blocked.

Certain complex web technologies and browsing features, including just-in-time (JIT) compilation of JavaScript, are disabled unless the user excludes the trusted site from blocking mode. This protection applies to – Safari and all other web browsers using WebKit on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Shared albums are removed from the Photos app and invitations to new shared albums are blocked.

When a device is locked, cable connections to all other devices and accessories are blocked.

When lockdown mode is enabled, configuration profiles cannot be installed and the device cannot enroll in Mobile Device Management (MDM).

If the hackers are honest, they can get up to $2 million from Apple

While there’s quite a bit of news in lockdown mode, that’s not all that we’ll see here over time. Apple has said it will gradually add new protections and security restrictions aimed at reducing the risk of politically or otherwise exposed individuals being hacked.

Additionally, the tech giant has added a new category to its Security Bounty program to reward researchers who find bugs and bugs in lockdown mode and help improve protection, capping bounty for qualifying finds in lockdown mode at a maximum of 2 double million dollars.

2022: Apple iPhone 14 Lauch Date and Gossips. #drmobileslimited, #iphone13pro, #phonerepair, #toll0800429429

Greetings!  It is the time of the year now to guess what goodies Apple will offer for the 2022 iPhone 14.  iPhone, iMac, iPad; they are very addictive products and brand to own.  More often, some have to mortgage the house to get update the iDevices each year!

How is iPhone 14 look like?
Design wise, the iPhone 14 models are going to look a lot like the iPhone 13 models, but with a notable exception - there's not going to be an iPhone 14 mini. Instead, Apple is making two 6.1-inch iPhones (iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro), along with two 6.7-inch iPhones (iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max).

Will the iPhone 14 have USB C?
The 2022 iPhone 14 models will continue to use a Lightning port, and the earliest that Apple is expected to make the swap to USB-C is 2023. That would see the iPhone 15 models adopting a USB-C port, unless Apple decides to delay its current plans.

The iPhone 14 models may launch without a physical SIM slot, with Apple transitioning to an eSIM-only design. Apple is allegedly advising major U.S. carriers to prepare for the launch of eSIM-only smartphones by 2022, which suggests some iPhone 14 models may be the first to come without a SIM slot.

As far as we know; for year 2022 Apple is building two high-end iPhone 14 models (a 6.1-inch version and a 6.7-inch version), and two low-end iPhone 14 models (of the same sizes).

Other than that; this year, Apple is also going to change a lot of things inside the iPhone with the iPhone iOS 16. Apple is also reportedly going to use an enhanced front camera sensor on the iPhone 14 series, and the Pro models will come without the notch that has irritated many consumers.

Besides that, the launch of the iPhone 14 is one of the most important and exclusive topics nowadays. Everyone wants to know more about it. But, no one discusses the in-depth features in detail. And you are one of the iPhone lovers. So, the article is for you. The article has provided a detailed study about the Face id hardware, storage, chips, camera technology, and camera features.

What the famous chap Ming-Chi Kuo have to say about the new Apple iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro; read the article here.

What do we know about iPhone 14?
Instead of a notch, the iPhone 14 Pro models are rumored to include two display cutouts. A pill-shaped cutout will house the Face ID dot projector and other Face ID components, and a second circular cutout will accommodate the front-facing camera. The non-Pro models are expected to continue to have a standard notch.

Will iPhone 14 be a redesign?
It's expected that the iPhone 14 will offer a slight redesign, at least in some ways, compared to the iPhone 13. According to a report from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, the iPhone 14 will offer an all-new design.
