Apple’s iOS 17.3 introduces Stolen Device Protection to iPhones, which could stop phone thieves from taking over your accounts. Here’s how to enable it right now.

Apple today launched a new tool for iPhones to help reduce what a thief with your phone and passcode can access. The feature, called Stolen Device Protection, adds extra layers of protection to your iPhone when someone tries to access or change sensitive settings on your device.

      The iPod is an iPhone without cellular. It has Find My etc.

      It does kind of suck though. Those devices are less likely to be stolen but still have wide open access to everything with just a passcode.

      Hopefully support is expanded to other devices.
