Apple Platform Security - January 2026

General

There is no news, because it is still not available for use on macOS nor iPadOS.

This setting is available on iOS 26 and later on iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air.

From what I have seen it appears likely that developers can enable MIE for their apps on macOS today, but this is undocumented, and I have not yet seen any indication it is being used on the macOS kernel or other system components like it is on iOS.
