Tucked away within the latest iOS 11.4.1 update, Apple included a new security feature that has been making headlines — USB Restricted Mode. AppleInsider walks you through the new feature, how it works, and discusses if it really is that secure.

USB Restricted mode works like this — one hour after iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch was last locked, it will basically disable the Lightning port. Making it only usable for charging. If something is plugged into the Lightning port after USB Restricted mode has been enabled, it will not function unless the device is unlocked again.
