It's so funny to me that iPods are coming back in style because no one has made anything better in the last 20 years. As in, people are buying 20 year old Apple devices rather than the modern equivalents because the modern equivalents are all shitty knock-offs of the 20 year old Apple devices instead of actual good devices in their own right.

SCOOP: Apple says it's not aware of anyone using Lockdown Mode getting hacked with spyware, on all kinds of devices.

There have already been a couple of documented cases of Lockdown Mode stopping spyware attacks. And there's been one case where an advanced hacking toolkit was designed to bail out if it detected Lockdown Mode on the target device.

If you're worried about spyware, you should use turn this security feature on.
