Apple says it is to change the default settings of its iphone to stop hackers and others from unlocking its devices without proper legal authorisation. The changes to the default settings of the iphone are intended to stop unauthorised access to tge phones via the use of USB port.....
The loophole also applies to countries outside the US, incuding UK. "We're constantly strenghtening the security prote ctions in every Apple product to help customers defend against hackers, identity theives and intrusions into their personal data," Apple said in a statement.
"We have the greatest respect for law enforcement, and we don't design our security improvenents to frustrate their efforts to do their jobs". This move will make it more difficult for police to unlock handsets without authorisation. Police forces say that veing able to unlock iphones and ipads is crucial to their work.
