Many Apple fans like to be on the cutting-edge of technology. When Apple releases a new model of the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad a great number of users immediately purchase the current all-round hardware in the pocket or briefcase version.

What to do with the old model? It is often given away or sold. The problem: even though the devices are small, they often contain a whole life. Personal photos, videos, appointments, addresses, e-mails with sensitive content, internet links as well as private records in apps.

It's simple for hackers and prying minds, to restore supposedly deleted files from the memory on your Apple device these days.

Before you sell or give away your Apple device, you'll need to make sure that all your personal files on the device have been mutilated beyond recovery.

Like an Industrial Grade paper shredder, this tiny program goes beyond international security standards:

The new Protectstar iShredder 2 Pro is very easy to use. It can simply be transferred to the iPhone or iPod touch after they have been restored to the factory condition.

It takes just three simple steps to overwrite the free space using patented security standards, making it impossible to rescue any deleted files.

- First, open Protectstar™ iShredder
- Second, select a secure deletion algorithm
- Third, start the deletion process

Protectstar™ iShredder surpasses international standards used by state and military organisations in secure file deletion with a wide selection of tried-and-trusted state-of-the-art deletion algorithms.

Each algorithm has been analysed by authorities and independent organisations to make sure it really does what it says on the tin – data destruction beyond redemption.Depending on the edition, the iShredder package comes with deletion algorithms such as DoD 5220.22-M E, US Air Force (AFSSI-5020), US Army AR380-19, DoD 5220.22-M ECE, BSI/VS-ITR TL-03423 Standard, BSI-VS-2011, NATO Standard, Gutmann, HMG InfoSec No.5, DoD 5220.22 SSD and others.

The new Protectstar iShredder Pro (4.0 MB) for iPhone and iPod touch is available in the languages English, Spanish, German, Portuguese and can be found under the category ‘Utilities’ on the AppStore.
The app is priced at US$ 4.99
