Hi Insiders, Rhett here.

This week has been a tumultuous one in both the digital and physical worlds. Maintaining your privacy is becoming increasingly difficult and increasingly crucial as public clashes with law enforcement rise across the nation. Thankfully, the iPhone offers a few ways to stay private, such as preventing apps from accessing your location and tracking your usage data. With these features, most would agree that the iPhone is a great device for the average security and privacy-conscious consumer. This week, we’ve got stories on how you can stay private with your iPhone, as well as details on increasingly popular scams, hacks, and more.

Have you come across any scams or security tips that we didn’t cover in this week’s newsletter? Be sure to let us know by emailing security@iphonelife.com or by replying to this email!

Save Up to 70% Off NordVPN

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 up to 70% off NordVPN.
