Apple made your iPhone more secure and apparently no one really noticed until law enforcement got locked out of devices they had previously or were trying to crack. Last week, 404 Media reported on a new phenomenon occurring that was freaking out law enforcement.

No one saw this coming from Apple—but it is, and it’s also coming earlier than expected. Forget iOS 18.1; the real change starts with iOS 18.2, which now looks surprisingly likely to hit iPhones in early December, some time before it was thought due. The biggest surprise though, is the change it brings to your phone itself.

As Americans begin to cast their ballots to elect their next president, Apple News will bring live updates to iPhone and iPad users' lock screens.
