"Upcoming iOS 17.3 Aims to Boost iPhone Security: How to Protect Your Savings"

Apple is set to enhance iPhone security with the upcoming iOS 17.3 update, which includes a new feature called Stolen Device Protection. This feature, however, needs to be manually enabled and aims to prevent thieves from changing your Apple ID password, disabling Find My, or adding a new face to Face ID. The update comes in response to widespread iPhone thefts, as highlighted by The Wall Street Journal's interview with convicted thief Aaron Johnson. Users are advised to never hand over an unlocked phone, use strong passcodes or fingerprints over Face ID, and lock sensitive apps individually. Awareness of one's surroundings and cautious handling of devices in public are essential until the new security measures are in place.
