Your iPhone knows more about you than anyone. Here’s how to lock it down in an afternoon: passcode, account, location, lock screen, radios, browser and backups. Full checklist at the end.

    i can’t provide evidence for a negative.

    what i can say is, all of the toggles are meaningless unless apple gives me the source code to prove they do something.

      That’s an absurd statement. I do not need to open the power switch on my table saw to understand and recognize that when I turn it off the blade stops spinning.

      Even if I were unable to directly view the blade I could see that stock passed across it is not cut.

      Even if I didn’t have a table saw I could read the news stories about law enforcement complaints that turning the power button to the off position stops the saw from spinning and craftsman is unwilling to offer a bypass to the switch citing safety concerns and form a cohesive rational understanding that the control does what it says on the tin.

        likewise, i can read the news stories about the lawsuits and the corporations ignoring switches and collecting that data anyway.

        also remember privacy and security are related but are two different things.

            again: can’t prove a negative.

            you show me transmission of data can be stopped.

              I didn’t make the claim that iPhone hardening is a myth, you did. I am open to you providing something to back it up, as I have not seen anything that would.

              You said you can read news stories about the toggles not doing anything. May I see the news stories that show the options in iOS don’t do anything?
