Apple released iOS 11.4.1 update, with features to combat cracking tools

Apple has just released iOS 11.4.1, in this update the iOS operating system security features continue to be upgraded to limit USB access, against unlocking tools.

This new feature is not working by default, so users must manually activate it by going to Settings, security and password.

With this new feature, about 1 hour after your iPhone or iPad is locked, iOS will block the connection with external accessories via the Lightning port. This will help prevent the use of tools for iPhone unlocking such as the GrayKey.

Apple is constantly increasing security, enhancing users' privacy from hackers and cases of entering their personal data. But this means that law enforcement agencies will find it more difficult to access criminal iPhone content.

In addition to restricting USB access, in iOS 11.4.1 update, Apple also focuses on fixing some operating system errors related to the AirPod search feature and syncing with Exchange accounts.
