Limitations imposed on iOS 18 govern the functionality and accessibility of its features. These limitations can be software-based, controlled by Apple, or hardware-based, dictated by the device’s capabilities. An example includes parental controls that restrict access to certain applications or websites, or enterprise-level configurations that limit data sharing to ensure corporate security. These limitations aim to provide a controlled and secure user experience.
The purpose of such limitations is multifaceted. They contribute to enhanced security by preventing unauthorized access and malware installation. They also foster a more tailored user experience, enabling administrators to manage device usage according to specific needs and policies. Historically, these controls have evolved from simple passcode locks to sophisticated systems that manage data access, application usage, and network connectivity.
