Those who have it enabled invariably seem to barely use Apple services at all; they are instead on Signal/WhatsApp/etc. which is basically unaffected by Lockdown Mode. Which makes sense because it takes exactly one FaceTime call from your mom being blocked before you turn it off

Not that public reporting on ITW chains is super indicative but I do want to point out that every blog post about something being found is like “Lockdown Mode would have prevented this infection” but you never hear about Lockdown Mode actually stopping anything

@saagar in re the latter point: Evidence of a failed intrusion usually doesn't exist without instrumentation?

@Mutesplash Sorry, I’m not sure I understand what you are going for here

@saagar How do you report on lockdown mode succeeding if you don't have evidence of intrusion failure?
