    It’s not really astonishing, that’s Apple’s marketing speaking. Phones have been thinner than this and the tech that Apple are using now already exists in many phones. Apple are great at selling something as new and innovative, their marketing is what is astonishing.

      Yeah this marketing is what makes the iphone 17 probably one of the best phones available atm IMO:

      This probably wipes out 90% of all classes of vulnerabilities that can be exploited on a device. Its crazy engineering. No other phones on earth have this protection.

      Android phones have something called MTE that is a basic version of this, but due to performance issues, isnt really feasible to have enabled all the time unlike MIE.

        This is an insane fucking blog post considering Apple has been far more vulnerable to “mercenary exploits” than flagship Android devices. Regardless of the actual feature they are describing, the several paragraphs of discussion on this topic frankly reads as unhinged.
