If a thief can steal an iPhone and passcode, they can lock the user out of their Apple ID and wreak havoc within seconds, but Apple’s Stolen Device Protection feature coming in iOS 17.3 will stop that from happening.
Stolen Device Protection
A February report revealed that iPhone users were being targeted by thieves that would use sneaky tactics to learn a device passcode, then steal the device. As the thief gets away, they can use the passcode to change the Apple ID password, kick the user out of signed-in devices, and have complete control of the account within seconds.
