Hi Readers, Rhett here.
Happy New Year! Like so many, we’re out of the office at this time, taking a winter break. But we’ve put together a list of our New Year's resolutions: habits we hope to practice in 2026, based on the lessons of 2025, which will help protect us in the year to come. You may already be doing some of these, but it never hurts to review what you already know! This isn’t an exhaustive list by any means, but it will certainly get you started in the right direction.
Do you have any personal privacy or security-related practices that we didn’t cover here? Be sure to let us know by emailing security@iphonelife.com or replying to this email.

Make Total Data Privacy Your New Year's Resolution
Here's the truth: something as innocent as checking your email on public Wi-Fi can leave you vulnerable to security attacks. Public networks — airports, hotels, coffee shops — are easy targets. And most people have no idea their traffic is exposed.
That's why we recommend NordVPN to iPhone Life readers. It encrypts your internet connection so no one can snoop on your activity, scans downloads for malware, alerts you if your email or passwords have been compromised in a data breach and keeps your connection fast (which not all VPNs can say). Right now, you can get 77% off NordVPN, plus three months free.
