NATO approves Apple iPhones and iPads for restricted classified information
NATO just approved Apple iPhones and iPads (with iOS 26 and iPadOS 26) for handling "restricted" classified information, marking the first time regular consumer gadgets get the military's stamp of approval.
This is a big moment for tech meeting top-tier security needs.
German cyber agency validated Apple devices
Apple's devices passed some of the toughest security checks out there, thanks to features like Secure Enclave, Face ID, and Touch ID, and strong memory protection.
Germany's cyber agency helped validate them, and now NATO trusts these devices for secure environments.
As Apple's vice president of Security Engineering and Architecture Ivan Krstic put it, their consumer products now uniquely meet NATO standards, a big win for privacy fans.
