Apple hammered during the presentation of iOS and OS X 9 10:11 not only new features, but also the privacy and security of the new operating systems. There are namely a lot of new features in iOS and OS X, which will keep you more secure and anonymous with your iPhone or iPad. These are the main features.
.1 Local storage of data While smart assistants like Siri need a lot of personal data to provide a good service, data is not linked to your Apple Account . Things you’re looking through the smart assistant, people you are calling, or agreements you make are not sent to Apple’s servers. Also, information from the controversial HealthKit is not collected by the tech giant.
Instead, all information is stored locally on your system. Siri can on that basis you do good help, without your information is collected somewhere.
Furthermore, means that Siri does not cross-platform work – at least, not optimal. If you’re the assistant mainly used on your iPhone, it may well be that on your iPad gets less good suggestions.
2. More security in Safari
Browser Safari get some security. Thus there are a AdBlocker in the mobile browser, allowing you ads, you block cookies or pop-ups. So there is less risk of malware injecting ads.
10:11 OS X also will tackle the support for Safari Extensions. These are now all personally checked and signed by Apple. That means that any extensions you can download really is safe, and no malware can spread eg via the official way.
It is still possible to install extensions outside of Apple, but it no download automatic updates.
3. Longer passwords
The password on your iPhone or iPad must be longer. You had in previous versions of the OS still use a 4-digit PIN code in iOS 9 that there must be a 6-digit. Admittedly, it is more difficult to get used to a new PIN, but it is much safer for bruteforce attempts.
4. Two Factor Authentication in iCloud
Cloud storage service already had two factor authentication, but only for the web version. In iOS 9 (and OS X ‘El Capitan’) the additional layer of security is also integrated into the iCloud apps. With two-factor authentication, you can add an extra layer of security in addition to your password to log into your iCloud, by getting an access code by SMS.
In addition, there are also under the hood a lot of extra safe options in iOS, such as the requirement for developers all apps let alone encrypted go online, or supporting a stronger encryption standard.
