The new iOS 11.4 is designed to prevent violent unlocking even by security organizations
Biometrics, fingerprints, facial recognition …until a few years ago, they are only seen in science fiction films, and now they are in the pockets of ordinary citizens. All premium manufacturers in the world have some kind of user data protection built into, which greatly complicates the operation of security structures in all countries.
Namely, it is a public secret that security guards use our phones to follow us, listen to us, analyze our words for a talk about terrorism, bombs, and so on. Many phones are used as evidence in trials for criminals and organizations. One of the devices used to forcibly unlock Apple's phones was GrayKey.
Simply,you can connect the phone to this device and depending on the size and complexity of the protection that is set on the phone in a few hours or days the phone will be unlocked. With a price of 15,000 to 30,000 dollars Grey Key was not a big burden on budgets of large security structures, and its use was getting bigger and bigger.
Apple has decided to protect its users to the point that even the FBI and the CIA can not unlock their devices.
Considering that physical connection is required for Grey Key, Apple decided to end the burst with the new security patch that comes in iOS 11.4. Protection works very easily, since the software recognizes the unlocking of the code and registers it, and in case the phone is unlocked in a way that the software doesn't recognize it as a registered password, the protection stops any data transfers by cable and allows only charging.
