Not true, disabling 2G is already present in iOS in Lockdown Mode.

  Why shouldn't you be able to disable 2G in normal mode?
• mjg59 3y ago
  Disabling 2G has been supported in Android since 12 - this is talking about the additional features on top of that.

    Seems to be up to the manufacturers and/or the carriers. Samsung doesn't have this for example even on my S21 running Android 13.

  How? iOS 17 is not released yet.

    Lockdown mode is iOS 16.
    • smarx007 3y ago
      I think the Lockdown Mode will disable 2G only starting with iOS 17. The press release [1] doesn't mention 2G directly but only "safer wireless connectivity defaults" but FastCo [2] is more direct "with iOS 17, Apple is not only beefing up Lockdown Mode (by blocking the iPhone from connecting to 2G cellular networks and from auto-joining insecure wireless networks) but bringing Lockdown Mode to the Apple Watch".

  But you have to enable the whole thing right? I like some of the settings of lockdown mode, and I wish you could enable them one by one. Enabling the entire lockdown mode is a bit too much
