iOS 17.3 beta launches with Stolen Device Protection — here's how it works

IOS 17.

The iOS 17.3 beta is now in the hands of developers, and with it comes a bunch of extra features that should make their way to your iPhone in the near future. Among them is a new “Stolen Device Protection” feature that’s been designed to add extra security to your Apple-made stuff. Just in case the person who stole your device somehow managed to figure out the passcode.

There’s never been any shortage of Apple thefts, and that’s been a problem long before the iPhone came out. Unfortunately there seems to be a growing trend of thieves spying on potential victims to try and figure out their passcode first.
