iOS Security
iPhones are not “hack-proof,” but they are extremely resistant to attempts at bypassing their encryption. For users, that means that their personal data will typically remain safe even if their device physically falls into the wrong hands. But the strong encryption on iPhones is also a great measure against theft.
Consider the fact that many law enforcement entities have stockpiles of iPhones that they can’t unlock. If government agencies have a hard time getting into iPhones, thieves do as well. That has lead to the creation of an underground culture of iPhone hacking. But the average thief likely doesn’t have access to many of those techniques and tools.
