Data

Apple's iPhone and iPad running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 have become the first
consumer mobile devices cleared for NATO-restricted classified data. No
special software or settings are required. MacRumors reports: Apple's devices
are the first and only consumer mobile products that have reached this
government certification level after security testing and evaluation by the
German government. iPhones and iPads running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 are now
certified for use with classified data in all NATO nations. In an
announcement of the security clearance, Apple touted its security features:
"Apple designs security into all of its products from the start, ensuring the
most sophisticated protections are built in across hardware, software, and
Apple silicon. This unique approach allows Apple users to benefit from
industry-leading security protections such as best-in-class encryption,
biometric authentication with Face ID, and groundbreaking features like
Memory Integrity Enforcement. These same protections are now recognized as
meeting stringent government and international security requirements, even
for restricted data."
