Apple's iPhone and iPad have become the first consumer devices approved to handle classified information of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO. Following a "rigorous evaluation" by the German Federal Office for Information Security, or BSI, the devices were found to meet the alliance's stringent information assurance requirements without the need for additional or special third-party software. The certification applies to devices running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, officially placing them on the NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue.
