Apple Adds Impersonation Risk Detection to iOS 27 and iPadOS 27

The significance here is less the feature itself than where Apple chose to place it: inside the operating system, at the moment a scam is unfolding, rather than in a settings menu or a post-incident warning. That shifts fraud defense from user vigilance to platform-level intervention, a boundary Apple has historically approached cautiously because it implies the device is judging intent. Whether that judgment stays on-device and how false positives are surfaced are the open questions worth watching, since both shape how much users trust the flag.
