Earlier this week, Apple released the latest system update for its various smart devices, including the iPad mini and iPhone. iOS 8 is the most advanced operating system that the tech giant has come out with so far, and it coincides with the highly-anticipated sale of the iPhone 6 and upcoming Apple Watch. With the recent security concerns that have dogged Apple over the last several weeks, iOS 8 features a more advanced way to keep your personal information safe - even from law enforcement officials.

According to CNN, Apple has included a new encryption method that will no longer allow the company to circumvent around a user's password to access personal data stored on the device. This could create a headache for police and other government agencies down the road, as Apple said in a public statement that it is no longer technically possible for them to turn over sensitive information from a person's iPhone or iPad, because they cannot get to it themselves, in contrast to previous operating systems that allowed Apple to bypass a user's passcode.

Although this new feature has increased the security of what is on the phone itself, private information can still be accessed if it is stored on the iCloud service. Apple would then be able to comply with law enforcement and search warrants to turn over whatever has been copied and saved to the storage service. This new security protection applies only to what stays on your phone, such as texts, photos and voicemails.
