Today, Apple is rolling out a new iOS beta for developers — iOS 17.3. This latest beta from Apple comes with a brand new security feature that Android phone makers should add to their own devices.
Earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal highlighted the recent uptick of thieves spying on iPhone users to steal passcodes before stealing the device. With the phone and the passcode at their disposal, thieves can reset the victim’s Apple ID password, turn off Find My, view passwords, and more.
