You don’t know what lockdown is do you? I’ve had my phone in lockdown for a year. I can’t: collaborate on notes, and it does not automatically open links in chat. Other than that my experience is identical to non lockdown.

I guess you don't browse any modern webpages? Otherwise I can't explain your perspective. You basically lose up to 95% of performance in anything remotely resembling a JS heavy web app. So it would run the same as on a cheap Android phone.

My only gripe with lockdown mode is that my banking app loads icons from some source that ends up being blocked.

Quite annoying. I've tried to explain it to them, but to no avail.

I would still be using lockdown mode if the call notifications were send to my Apple Watch. Other than that lockdown mode was working pretty good for me.

It works great for me too.

But there are weirdnesses.

For example, you can't add a person to phone favorites.

That's your own mistake, because you can collaborate on Notes while your iPhone is in Lockdown

I can send my friends a PDF of a restaurant's menu over iMessage. I think that wouldn't work for you?
