Apple Devices Certified for NATO Restricted Data

#Apple says iPhones and iPads running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 are now certified to handle #NATO “restricted” classified information, becoming the first consumer devices approved for that level without additional third party software.

The certification follows evaluation under NATO standards and builds on Apple’s long standing push into enterprise and government security.

With approval for classified use, Apple strengthens its position in defense and regulated sectors, potentially expanding high margin enterprise adoption.
