    Apple is popularly known for its security features. Compared to Android, Apple products are equipped with several layers of protection, making them difficult to hack. Recently, Apple announced an add-on security feature called Lockdown Mode in July 2022. The Lockdown Mode will be available for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS 13 Ventura.
