The iOS 11 update is bound to revolutionize the concept of augmented reality forever, bringing this technology to millions of iPhone and iPad users around the world. But, in addition to that, we are talking about an update that will also bring many new developments related especially to security.

If we knew a few days ago that iOS 11 will enable the fingerprint reader to be deactivated with a simple gesture, it has now been known that these improvements in the security of the Touch ID will also be applied when the user decides to connect his iPhone or iPad to the computer. As a computer security company has discovered, from iOS 11 it will no longer suffice to simply put your finger on the fingerprint reader to connect the device to the computer: an additional step

Since today it is very easy (perhaps even too) to access the contents of an unlocked iPhone - simply connect it to the computer and click on the option "Trust this device" - with iOS 11 from Apple have introduced an additional security measure that will prevent the friends of others from gaining control over the information inside the memory of an iPhone or iPad.

Since iOS 11, iPhone or iPad that connect to the computer will still require the unlock password (or owner's footprint) regardless of whether or not the device was unlocked at the time of connection. In this way, it will be ensured that it is the owner of the terminal that grants the necessary permission to connect it to the computer.

The update of iOS 11, we remember, will start to distribute from this same day September 12 coinciding with the presentation of the new iPhone 8 that Apple will perform at 19:00 hours (Spanish time). If you are interested in knowing how to follow the live presentation
