Apple Introduces Enhanced Security Measures to Combat iPhone Theft

TL;DR Summary
Apple is introducing a new security feature for iPhones called Stolen Device Protection, which adds an extra layer of protection against thieves. Instead of relying solely on a passcode, users will now be required to enter biometric data (Face ID or Touch ID) to access sensitive information or make changes. For more sensitive actions, users will also have to wait through an hour-long security delay before re-entering biometric data. The feature will be available to all iPhone users in an upcoming software update.
