🆕New Security Features and Low-Level Extraction of iOS 26🆕

We updated iOS Forensic Toolkit, adding low-level extraction support for iOS 26 and 26.0.1 via the extraction agent.

This support is available for most iPhones and iPads compatible with the iOS 26 branch with a notable exception of the iPhone 17 range and M5-based iPads.

❓Why exactly are these devices exempt, and what else did Apple do to make iOS 26 tougher and more resistant? Let’s find out.

❗️Released on September 15, 2025, iOS 26 represents an important shift in mobile security. Apple made an attempt to transition the operating system’s defenses away from reactive software patching, anchoring it instead in hardware-enforced trust based on hardware-level memory safety and post-quantum encryption.

This shift establishes a framework designed to operate in highly sensitive environments. The underlying architecture is robust enough that devices running the iOS 26 branch are formally approved to process and store information classified up to the NATO Restricted level. Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) evaluated and confirmed this certification.
