UK's demand for Apple backdoor may have been broader than previously thought

UK's demand for Apple backdoor may have been broader than previously thought

The UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) has submitted a new legal filing, suggesting that authorities wanted the iCloud backdoor they're demanding Apple to create to be able to access more data than previously thought. According to the Financial Times , UK's Home Office has also yet to legally withdraw or change its order for Apple to create backdoor access to its users' data. If you'll recall, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claimed a few days ago that the UK "has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a 'back door' that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on [their] civil liberties." It's still unclear if the Home Office merely hasn't started the process of withdrawing the mandate yet. IPT is an independent judicial body that investigates complaints about alleged unlawful surveillance from UK authorities. The Times reported in March that Apple challenged the UK government at the IPT after receiving a secret order from the Home Office to build a backdoor for iCloud data. Apple is not allowed to publicly discuss the order, but it first acknowledgment that it received a mandate from UK authorities when it disabled iCloud's Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature in the UK back February. "Apple remains committed to offering our users the highest level of security for their personal data and are hopeful that we will be able to do so in the future in the United Kingdom. As we have said many times before, we have never built a backdoor or master key to any of our products or services and we never will," the company said in a statement back then. It's worth noting that the UK government has yet to confirm or deny the order's existence, and IPT will be hearing the case based on "assumed facts." The order reportedly states the Apple has the obligation to "provide and maintain a capability to disclose categories of data stored within a cloud-based service," which indicates that the government looked to gain access to people's passwords and messages. In addition, the Times says the order was "not limited to" data protected by Apple's ADP, suggesting that authorities wanted broad access to Apple iCloud accounts.

Awe Dropping iPhone 17, AirPods, and Apple Watch Ultra on the AppleInsider Podcast

Apple's "Awe Dropping" event will doubtlessly center on the iPhone 17 — but there's also going to be new Apple Watches, and maybe also AirPods Pro 3. All this and more, on the latest episode of the AppleInsider Podcast. It's coming. We're so close the iPhone 17 launch now that leakers are trying to get in their last predictions, or guesses, or indeed actual inside information. They're doing it about the iPhone, of course, but also cases and strap and accessories. What they don't seem to doing, at least not yet, is reporting in any detail on what the new Apple Watch Series 11 will be like. Nor on any of the other possible products.

iOS 26: 5 New Features in the Wallet App

iOS 26: 5 New Features in the Wallet App

iOS 26 adds several features to the built-in Wallet app on the iPhone , providing a new way to track your online shopping, an update to boarding passes, and more. We've outlined everything new in the Wallet app below. Order Tracking The ‌iOS 26‌ Wallet app features enhanced order tracking, and you can now use it to track all of your purchases rather than just those made using Apple Pay . Apple Intelligence is used to locate order related information from the Mail app, and then orders are pulled into the Wallet app. The ‌iPhone‌ can detect tracking numbers and order numbers, and update the status of packages as they move from order to delivery. Orders can be accessed by tapping on the "..." button in the Wallet app and tapping on the Orders option. The feature is opt-in, and you do need a device capable of ‌Apple Intelligence‌ to use it. Apple says that order tracking in the Wallet app is being made available in a beta capacity, and it's not perfect yet. Some orders don't update properly and need to be manually marked as complete, and some don't show up in the app. Digital IDs With ‌iOS 26‌, Apple Wallet will allow ‌iPhone‌ users to add a U.S. passport that can be used in lieu of a physical passport for domestic travel. The Digital ID can be stored on the ‌iPhone‌ or the Apple Watch, and it can be used at select TSA checkpoints throughout the United States. It is Real ID-compliant, as a passport can be presented instead of a Real ID when traveling. Digital IDs do not replace physical passports, and Apple warns that they cannot be used for international travel or border crossings. In these situations, a physical passport will be required, but for domestic travel, ‌iPhone‌ users won't need to pull out a passport and can instead pass through TSA checkpoints more quickly. As with state driver's licenses and IDs, Digital IDs will work for age and identity verification in apps, retail store locations, and new in ‌iOS 26‌, websites. Enhanced Boarding Passes Boarding passes for flights that are stored in the Wallet app are able to display more information in ‌iOS 26‌. You'll see maps that will help you navigate through the airport, and an option to access Find My to track items, report missing bags, and more using the ‌Find My‌ airline integration features. Live Activities Support Boarding passes in the Wallet app support Live Activities, providing real-time updates on a flight. Flight information will be displayed on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island , plus the Live Activity for a flight can be shared with other people. Credit Card Info The Wallet app settings now includes an "AutoFill" section where you can view and store full credit card details like card number, expiration date, and security code. Ad Controls Apple added an option to turn off offers and promotions sent through the Wallet app, so you can turn off ads like the F1 offer that Apple received criticism for. To turn off ads, open the Wallet app and tap on the three dots in the upper right corner. From there, toggle off the Offers and Promotions button.
