Thanks for the reminder! However, I’m a little pessimistic about whether Apple will keep Lockdown Mode maintained and updated - I only remember this popping up after Pegasus and Apple sending out waves of notifications to exploited users, and both seemed to be just a one time effort.

Apple continues to send out exploit notifications and Lockdown Mode continues to grow to include more attack surface. It seems to be actively maintained, as opposed to a lot of other things that Apple has tried.

I’m actually glad to hear that! I guess my underlying concern is that not knowing the full breadth of modern iOS’ attack surface might make me complacent when evaluating whether there are any risks that Lockdown doesn’t cover, and that being constantly notified on updates might somewhat alleviate that.

Apple has maintained lockdown mode and sent out regular notifications. It's just not announced publicly.
