Apple announced Lockdown Mode to protect against "state-sponsored mercenary spyware"

Apple has announced a new feature for iOS 16, iPadOS, and MacOS Ventura to increase security for those frequently targeted by spyware.

According to Apple, the new setting — dubbed Lockdown Mode — offers an optional level of security for users targeted by the most sophisticated digital threats, including those from the NSO Group such as Pegasus.

until they realize the spyware will simply bypass it, while it "looks" locked down.

but hey, if it makes them feel better, have at it.

but they clearly DONT, as then they can make you buy one through the idiot store,
and charge your credit card as Software aint free, when its Apple,

but each to his own I guess,
if it makes people feel better when Apple says "locked mode"
have at it,

remember this is the same company that slowed down Old Iphones so you would be forced to buy newer ones.
