For my newsletter and blog, I wrote about how Apple's Lockdown Mode, once billed as an "extreme" security protection for iPhones, iPads, Macs and Watches, has passed a major real-world test by blocking the feds from accessing a journalist's phone.

@zackwhittaker my dad had this turned on by accident. I wasted about half an hour troubleshooting his phone because all kinds of stuff seemed broken (like no Facetime, no attachment previews in iMessage) before it dawned on me it had to be Lockdown mode

@zackwhittaker So the Lockdown Mode feature that reads “To connect your iPhone or iPad to an accessory or another computer, the device needs to be unlocked.” is doing something different than just ensuring that Settings > FaceID & Passcode > Allow Access When Locked > Accessories is set to Off?
The default for the Accessories setting is for it to be Off, so if the threat model is physical access is there a reason Lockdown Mode is better than just ensuring that setting is off?
