Thank you for sharing this! I take it this security feature alone would be a good reason to upgrade from a iphone 14 to the latest model even if my old hardware is working well?

If you have high security demands, sure. For most normal people who don't care then a sensible choice is just making sure your current iPhone is up to date and such. Using the latest device you possibly can all the time is either a luxury choice or a high-threat one.

Regardless, this is an extremely significant security upgrade. If people believe they are a potential future victim for targeted attacks and require an Apple device, they should use iPhone 17 and future iDevices that support this.

I appreciate the feedback. Yeah, nowadays I've taken to only really upgrading my phone once the battery starts to suffer as there is no meaningful/noticeable difference to me between the models.

But a significant security upgrade feels like it may be worth it. I don't think I'm at risk of a targeted attack at all though 😃

It's a worthwhile upgrade if you are on a much older iPhone, to be honest. My backup 13 I use for work could do with a change.
