iPhone file security: an unrealized threat!
Written by Jimmy S Lee
June 29, 2007 – Crowds line up in front of the Apple store, what’s all the hype about you may be wondering? People had been camping out in front of the Apple store, so that they are the first to purchase a revolutionary smart phone – the iPhone, which will re-define the standards for smart phones forever. Now fast forward to present day and still the iPhone hype has not died down. It seems that Apple is banking on the popularity of the original iPhone by releasing newer versions of the iPhone from time-to-time, with the most recently launched version, iPhone 4S released on October 4, 2011 which was certainly no exception. So what made the iPhone 4S outstanding and worth all the hype? Well, there are several reasons behind its success, for once its preceding popularity. iPhone fans were so impressed by the original iPhone, that it created a huge fan following; every time a newer version of iPhone was released into the market, fans rushed to the Apple store to buy the latest version of the iPhone. It didn’t matter if they could afford it or not, they just had to purchase it. Secondly, the iPhone 4s is now a world phone, which means that you could use it on any GSM network, anywhere in the world. Third reason, which is related to its performance and is perhaps one of the most notable changes in the iPhone 4s is its A5 dual core processor mated with 512 MB of RAM; rated twice as fast from its preceding version, according to Apple. Fourth, its primary camera is now capable of recording a full 1080p HD video. Another significant change in the iPhone 4s is its software the ios 5, developed for the iPhone 4s. Other enhancements include newer pre-loaded apps.
Although as advanced as it is, iPhone 4s does not have built in file security to protect your personal files. People often store information related to their identity in their iPhones and never realize the risks associated with losing their iPhones. If you had unknowingly stored information on your iPhone such as your home address, your driver’s license number or perhaps your credit card numbers and had recently lost your iPhone, you may have already became a victim of identity theft, in fact, criminals might be using your identity to commit torts and crimes as you read this article. Shocking and unrealistic as this may sound, statistics don’t lie. Though, you shouldn’t be discouraged from storing your personal information on your iPhone, because there’s a better solution to this issue. The solution is iPhone file security software developed to keep confidential folders under password protection. Although downloading and installing any run of the mill iPhone folder security software won’t do you any good and will only give you false hope. There’s many useless iPhone Folder protection software on the app store, though the one that is truly credible is Folder Lock for iPhone. This software has also been rated top of its class by critics and is worth purchasing.
