> Apple has made significant progress in terms of developing evil-maid-resistant systems. Definitely, but a couple of the high end forensic data extraction companies have largely kept up with them. It's no longer something which can be done by someone who doesn't have access to expensive commercial exploit tools or government-developed tools. Most of the forensic companies can't keep up anymore but the demand is there for a couple options which do and they're not unsuccessful. Cellebrite Premium is widely available and used by law enforcement and governments around the world. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112826067364945164 https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112826067364945164 is their leaked documentation on their capabilities from July 2024. Recent iPhones and Pixels are successfully preventing brute force attacks via Cellebrite Premium for Before First Unlock devices via their secure elements. They aren't successfully prevented the OS being exploited either Before First Unlock or After First Unlock. Pixels being able to run a more hardened OS is a major advantage in this regard. iOS lockdown mode and USB restricted mode exist, but don't appear to defend against Cellebrite Premium. Lockdown mode mainly reduces browser and Apple service attack surface.
