Good news. Now something else to learn and another password to make up. BTW, traded in the old 4S for the “new” 5SE today. Last Friday, Apple somehow gave the old 5SE phone the O.S. of the 6 phone. Apparently, customers like the smaller iphone because it fits in pockets and in their hands. For the first time the transition of data was almost perfect thanks to daily backups to iCloud. Lost texts for the hours previous to changeover. No big deal. Will be fooling around with their Sleep Cycle app. Best new feature so far: the new emoticons. Lots of fun. And space....64gb!! Just wow!

It will be secure for a while. Afterwards people get compromised, palms get greased and threats are made. Then it will be no safer than an English primer.

I have a hard time believing anything apple makes is secure considering the Chinese labor and the guy who runs apple. On the other hand I know android not secure, google been in bed with the CIA from the start.

I don't understand what all the hubbub is about. Microsoft has offered public key based
file level encryption and hardware level (TPM)
disk encryption since Windows Vista (2006).

Any thing you put on your computer can be turned over to the government or hacked into by criminals. Your information was safer when only you had it.

The NSA asked the authors of my favorite encryption system to put in a back door for them. They stupidly obliged and a couple of months later their system was compromised. The company went belly up. I still use the last uncompromised version, but it has no updates or support.

The IOS walled garden doesn't give the majority of users even basic access to the filesystem.
So tell me again why this is significant?
