Apple introduced one of the most sophisticated defensive layers for the iPhone 5 with MIE

Among Apple’s glamorous news wave, the company unveiled a relatively secret security technology for the iPhone 17 and iPhone AIR, which Apple itself said was precisely designed to counter malware and monitoring methods.

This new feature is known as Memory Integrity Enforcement or MIE, and its main task is to neutralize memory bugs, often exploited by spyware and crime-technical tools.

Explaining the technology, Apple points out that many commercial spyware used against iOS, just like those used for Windows and Android, target memory weaknesses. These vulnerabilities are Memory Safety, and as Apple explains, these vulnerabilities are common and convertible throughout the technology industry. Cyber ​​security experts, including those who have a background in designing and selling Ziro-click Ziro-click click tools for iPhones, have told the media that the new technology could top Apple’s new iPhones at the top of the list of safest Internet connected devices. The result is that spyware developers and zero-day-to-day abuses will be more complex and expensive to penetrate or extract data from iPhone phones.

A security researcher who has experience in the development and sales of zero-day-to-day tools for the US government said the MIE will increase the cost and time of building exploits for new iPhones, thereby raising the price of these tools for end customers. He emphasized that while the technology does not turn the iPhone 17 into a completely unpredictable device, it is probably the closest thing that has now reached an unexpected situation.

Another researcher, Jiska Classsen of the Hasso Plattner Institute in Germany, also agrees that MIE is raising the cost of developing regulatory technologies. He explained that many of the bugs and exploits now used by spyware or researchers will no longer work with the launch of new iPhones and MIE activation.

Apple has succeeded in localizing this security technology with full control over its technology stack (from software to hardware). However, many smartphone makers do not have this dominance and cannot operate in the hardware and software level. Although Google has also introduced MTE technology for some Android devices, and a version of Android called Graphneos has the same technology in its version, the complete combination of hardware and software in a closed ecosystem allows Apple to benefit from features that are not used for other mobile makers.

In the present situation, this new technology could be a turning point in Apple’s efforts to reduce common vulnerabilities that have become the main target of spy attacks in recent years. However, it is still unclear whether this security plan can completely thwart future threats or only temporarily slow the process of attacks. There are also questions about the possible impact of this technology on the actual performance of devices, user interactions, and the future of research and development of security tools in the mobile world.
