Apple is reportedly launching a new security feature that it has been testing as part of the iOS 17.3 which will be out next week. The feature, called ‘Stolen Device Protection’ is designed to strengthen the iPhone’s protection against hijack attempts to steal user’s Apple ID and any financial information on their device.

 


More specifically, the feature would prevent the thief from breaking into an iPhone via user’s passcode. Instead, Face ID or Touch ID will be required to unlock the device, and the thief may even have to wait about an hour to make any changes to the user’s data. This means that getting access to sensitive information or wiping out the phone data would be a difficult task.

Apple’s ‘Stolen Device Protection’ Option is Reportedly Rolling Out with the Upcoming iOS 17.3



Apple’s iPhone 15 event ‘Wonderlust’ is set to happen on the 12th of September, live at 1PM ET / 10AM PT.  It could be streamed on both Apple’s official website as well as its YouTube channel.

 

One of the major additions to the iPhone 15 lineup is a USB-C charger in place of the Lightning connector. The USB-C ports for the premium models would be USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 at minimum, while the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models would support USB 2.0. Either way, all iPhone 15 models will support faster charging rates of up to 35W. Apple might release updated AirPods with a USB-C charging case too.

 

As for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, there is reportedly going to be additions of a titanium frame, thinner bezels, an action button, as well as a higher price. The new action button will be similar to the one on the Apple Watch Ultra, as a replacement for the mute button and will provide other functions too, like assigning shortcuts to apps and settings. There may be some new colour additions too, including a titan grey in place of the gold finish, a dark blue, while the base iPhone 15 is speculated to arrive in black, green, blue, yellow, and pink. There is also a rumour that the iPhone 15 Pro Max may be renamed to iPhone 15 Ultra.

New Products and Features Expected to be Seen in Apple’s Upcoming iPhone 15 Event



Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 models are rumoured to be supporting charging up to 35W - an 8W increase compared to the maximum charging speed of the latest iPhone, the iPhone 14, which supports a charging speed of 27W.

 

A similar speculation was made last year that suggested that the iPhone 15 models would come with USB-C resulting in faster charging speeds.
