Recently, a striking piece of news has emerged from the cryptocurrency circle: the iPhone 17 is set to introduce revolutionary memory safety technology. According to industry insiders, this new hardware technology, known as MIE, combined with the default-enabled EMTE real-time verification, will provide unprecedented security guarantees for digital asset holders.



The importance of this technological advancement cannot be underestimated. It is well known that approximately 70% of software vulnerabilities stem from memory safety issues, such as out-of-bounds access and use-after-free (UAF) zero-day attacks. Once these vulnerabilities are exploited by hackers, they can jeopardize users' wallets, Passkeys, and even lead to the theft of private keys. The hardware upgrades in the iPhone 17 are expected to fundamentally close these potential attack vectors.

For cryptocurrency users, this upgrade is significant:

First, wallet signing operations will become more secure. Whether using MetaMask or other wallet applications, the signing process has always been a popular target for hacker attacks. The new security mechanism can monitor and prevent abnormal behavior in real-time, significantly reducing the risk of signatures being hijacked.

Secondly, the credibility of Passkeys will significantly increase. As more trading platforms and wallet services support Passkeys login, enhanced memory safety will provide users with an additional layer of protection, safeguarding sensitive information locally on the device even in the event of phishing attacks.

Finally, for users holding large assets, this is undoubtedly a powerful upgrade for asset protection. To put it metaphorically, hackers may have invaded through software vulnerabilities in the past, but now this door has been completely sealed off.

In the long run, this technological breakthrough could have far-reaching effects:

Recently, the iPhone 17 may become the preferred device for high-net-worth users, especially those "whale" users who hold a large amount of encryption assets.

In the medium term, as smartphone manufacturers place greater emphasis on secure hardware, encryption assets are expected to be more closely integrated into the mainstream consumer ecosystem.

In the long run, if the Android camp also follows suit with similar security upgrades, the security standards of the entire industry will be comprehensively improved, which will undoubtedly promote the widespread adoption of encryption currency.

Overall, the security upgrade of the iPhone 17 is not just a technological advancement, but also an important step towards maturity for the encryption currency industry. It provides users with a safer digital asset management environment while injecting new momentum into the development of the entire industry.
