We unpack how Apple’s Memory Integrity Enforcement changes the rules of mobile security by rebuilding memory architecture, not just adding guardrails. We weigh who should upgrade now, what this means for Android, and why people remain the biggest risk.
• memory corruption explained with apartment analogy
• why NOP sleds and heap sprays fail under MIE
• tags, type segregation, and synchronous checks at runtime
• market-share vs design: Apple, Windows, Android trade-offs
• Pegasus, zero-click exploits, and threat profiles
• game hacking parallels: reading vs corrupting memory
• should you upgrade: high-risk users vs everyday users
• why architecture-level security beats bolt-on tools
