Less noticeable than thinners or trigles of camera lenses but apple is highlighting another upgrade In the phone with iPhone 17 phones, it states that part of the “most significant memory security upgrades in the history of consumer operating systems”.

With the introduction of iPhone 17 iPhone AIR, we deliver the implementation of memory integrity: first, comprehensive memory protection area – including the core and over 70 memory enlargement (EMTE) and supporting safety and security protection and protection protection.

Apple says that its application goes a step further, with the possibility of protecting all users by default, while further adding memory safety changes for older hardware that does not support new memory labeling features. The company also says that its new alleviation of V1 leaks with “practically zero CPU costs” – as performance hits are the problem For memory integrity and other Safety features – with all changes that make up the “Plaint of Spyware” even more expensive for development.

The people who stand by the graphic project focused in safety recognized “major improvements in security” to help the iPhone in the post in X, but also said They had problems with the presentation and as shown by IOS security vs function like MTE, already published for Android.
