    Apple launches Memory Integrity Enforcement on iPhone 17 and iPhone Air

    Initial Disclosure

    Apple introduced Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) on iPhone 17 and iPhone Air, using A19 and A19 Pro chips together with Enhanced Memory Tagging Extension (EMTE) in synchronous mode and Tag Confidentiality Enforcement (TCE) policies to provide always-on memory safety protection across the kernel and over 70 userland processes. The feature is intended to make buffer overflows and use-after-free bugs harder to weaponize in highly targeted attacks, including mercenary spyware campaigns.
