Apple devices are regarded as the securest amongst leading smartphone manufactures, but are they? Just like other devices, you’d equally lose important data in an instant. An infographic done on iPhone users clearly indicates they’re just as vulnerable. From the latest iPhone 7 which has 256GB as the largest capacity, stores important files ranging from pictures, Videos, messages as well as contacts that could be lost accidentally or through a virus attack. Below is an infographic with regard to ways these can happen;

Technology advancement has certainly rendered traditional methods of data storage such as hard-copy printed papers almost redundant. And by almost, I mean of course there are still some areas that do still require these traditional methods; these include wall portraits etc. as a result, we now have more data in soft copy than ever before. Huge amounts of data can now reside on smaller powerful storage devices such as hard drives, flash disks and memory cards. Just a few years back, memory cards were limited to 16GB, but we now have manufactures introducing memory cards with as large capacity as 1 terabyte. What this essentially means is; we can now have an entire inventory of a business stored on a memory card, a hospital can have patients data stored on a hard drive rather than have a huge pile of hard copy files. Most of the data stored of such devices as we reckon, is very sensitive and vital to our wellbeing.

Unfortunately, as much as technology has advanced to the extent of these capabilities, data safety remains an issue that’s never guaranteed. You could lose years of business records within a blink, or important family photos saved generations after generations in an instant.
