iPhone Air when we had already learned the device’s specifications months earlier. Nonetheless, it’s undeniable that Apple’s latest iPhone collection is remarkable. With features ranging from the new Center Stage camera to improved battery longevity for all models, the latest iPhone variants offer numerous enticing additions.
A particularly noteworthy enhancement arriving with the iPhone is a fresh security feature that Apple refers to as Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE). Although it didn’t receive mention during the keynote, the company released a research document on Monday explaining how this feature will bolster iPhone security and reduce the risk of spyware.
According to Apple, they have been developing MIE for roughly five years and assert that it “constitutes the most substantial advancement in memory safety ever seen in consumer operating systems.” This feature is integrated into every iPhone 17 variant as well as the iPhone Air. True to its name, Memory Integrity Enforcement guarantees that only verified code can operate in protected memory, making any attempts to introduce harmful code ineffectual. Apple indicates that this will significantly complicate the ability of advanced spyware to infiltrate the iPhone.
