Nobody likes being monitored. But even if you suspected your company is following your activities on the iPhone, would you know where to check?
没有人喜欢被监控。但即使你怀疑你的公司正在监控你在iPhone上的操作,你知道该去哪里检查吗?
In the next iteration of its smartphone operating system, iOS 9.3, Apple is looking to make this an easier task. According to Reddit user MaGNeTiX, the latest beta of iOS 9.3 has a message telling users their iPhone is being supervised. The message is as prominent as can be, both on the device's lock screen and in the About section.
苹果iPhone的下一代操作系统iOS 9.3将会让这件事变得简单。根据Reddit网站上的MaGNeTiX透露,最新的iOS 9.3测试版能够推送消息,告知用户他们的iPhone正被监控中。该消息提示会尽可能的醒目,在设备的锁屏界面和行程上都能显示。
"This iPhone is managed by your organisation," the message on the lock screen says. And in the About screen, you get a little more detail, with a message saying your iPhone's supervisor can monitor your Internet traffic and locate your device.
锁屏上的消息是这样显示的:"这台iPhone由您的公司管理。"而在行程界面上,你会看到更多的细节。消息会这样显示:监控你手机的人能够监控你的网络流量、定位你的设备。
To be clear: It doesn't look like this feature will let you turn off company supervision or increase your privacy in any way. It's merely there as a warning, providing more transparency to users, some of which might not even be aware their employer is monitoring their iPhone.
需要明确的是,这个消息推送功能并不能让你关闭公司的监控或者加强隐私保护。这仅仅是一种警告,向用户透露更多信息。毕竟一些人也许根本没有意识到雇主正在监控他们的iPhone。
The news comes amidst a legal battle between Apple and the FBI, which seeks Apple's help in decrypting the iPhone of one of the terrorists responsible for last year's attack in San Bernardino, Calif. More precisely, the FBI wants Apple to create a new version of iOS that would be used specifically on the shooter's iPhone, disabling some of its security features. So far, Apple stood firm in its decision not to yield to the government's demands, claiming it would affect "everyone who owns an iPhone."
在这些新消息释出之际,苹果公司和FBI正有法律上的纠纷。FBI希望苹果能够帮助破解参与去年圣贝纳迪诺袭击案的恐怖分子的iPhone。更准确地说,FBI希望苹果能够为该射击者的手机特地开发一个新的iOS版本,从而使其中的一些安全功能失效。截止目前为止,苹果坚持不服从政府的要求,他们表示如果这么做,会给"每一位拥有iPhone的人"带来负面影响。
