The documentation of the latest iPad Pro models shows that the company’s new tablets have a similar capability. When a user closes the cover of a compatible case, the iPad’s security chip will cut the mic, which should help prevent snooping.
- When the case’s lid is closed, software cannot access audio Data.
- current iPad cases designed by Apple will suffice, including the Smart Folio, Smart Keyboard Folio and the Magic Keyboard, which should be available soon.
- While iPads don’t have as many issues as Android tablets, they’re still vulnerable to compromises.
