"Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make[sic] them harder to hack."

Funny to see disabling "features" itself described as "feature"

Why not call it a "setting"

Most iPhone users do not change default settings. That's why Google pays Apple billions of dollars for a default setting that sends data about users to Google

"Lockdown Mode" is not a default setting

The phrase "sometimes overlooked" is an understatement. It's not a default setting and almost no one uses it

If it is true Lockdown Mode makes iPhones "harder to hack", as the journalist contends, then it is also true that Apple's default settings make iPhones "easier to hack"

A "reduced attack surface" can also be a reduced surface for telemetry, data collection, surveillance and advertising services, thereby directly or indirectly causing a reduction in Apple revenues

Perhaps this could be a factor in why it's not a default setting
