The iPhone 16 and 16 Pro feature a new security enhancement called Secure Exclave, which is part of the A18 series chips. This feature was first introduced with the M4 iPad Pro but has not been highlighted in Apple's official announcements for the iPhone 16. The Secure Exclave is designed to improve user privacy by managing the Secure Indicator Light, which activates when the camera or microphone is in use. This addition aims to reduce the risk of unauthorized access by malware or other applications, as the light serves as a physical indicator of sensor activity. Unlike previous software-controlled indicators, this hardware-based solution enhances security by ensuring users are aware when their device's sensors are active. The iPhone 16 series is currently available for pre-order, with shipments set to begin on September 20.
