 While we're talking about new Apple OS features, do you want to take us to Todd Pete? I can do that. Todd wrote in and sent us a couple Wall Street Journal articles and they are behind the paywall unfortunately, but he sent us the PDFs if we needed to look at them But it says basically hey just saw this turn on your iPhone stolen device protection now to secure your money in your photos in the iOS 17.3 Update and We'll put the link in the show notes as to what the stolen device protection is I had forgotten that that was coming along but it essentially you go into settings and you can just even search stolen device and It'll come up with the setting by turning it on you prevent someone who has misappropriated Your device in case you've colossally lost it Reference there inside joke. Sorry And someone has your device and they know your passcode they can't make critical changes to your account Particularly if it's away from a known location like your home or your place of work or someplace where you regularly are They need your face ID or your touch ID by metric authentication So some acts actions such as accessing stored passwords credit cards It requires single biometric authentication with face ID or touch ID with no passcode or alternative fallback So only you can access those features and there's a security delay as well Some security actions such as changing your Apple ID password Required you wait an hour and then perform a second face ID and touch ID Authentication so that it can't just be changed right away again when it's away from home This solves that problem that that we were you know kind of talking about a year ago or so right where people were Snatching phones and and then you know stealing iCloud accounts and hacking into things. Yeah Yeah, so it's designed to Prevent a thief from performing critical operations that you know gives you time to mark your devices lost right and right Sure, your Apple account is secure So when it's on face ID is required for passwords and past keys payment that's saved in safari You can't turn off lost mode You can't erase all content in settings. You can't apply for a new Apple card That's good. Yeah You can view the Apple card virtual number and we just do this in settings in the And on the phone nice great won't stop them from gaining access to email and photos and other unprotected apps third-party apps So if you have a two-factor authentication on those apps, that's the way to go But stolen device protection even more better security than before well stuff cool with a long time It doesn't impact using and there's a couple things on this one It's important to note that it only kicks in when your device is away from your common locations like your work and Right, so you just in the next two below probably far enough away. No But I mean that's good because that's convenient, you know if you're at home It's gonna assume you have control of your device So it's a little bit it's got a little smarts in there But was one of the things you can still like use like base time or whatever because my only concern on this was like The number of times I'll be somewhere just not face time Apple pay I'll be wanting to use Apple pay and it just doesn't recognize my face ID has fails Yeah, sure you need to go to passcode Right when this kicks in right you have to do Biometric authentication you can't you don't it doesn't fall back to the passcode. No, it's a it's almost the op It's it it works in the opposite direction, right? Yeah, like you've already done the passcode and because you have this feature enabled it says yeah We should also make sure face ID that it's actually you which is which is a shift, right up until now face ID and touch ID have been Convenience features right like you know you would unlock your phone and then you could use these to Sort of casually unlock your phone I'll call it but not after a restart not after all of that now face ID and touch ID are actually being used as the second factor of Security which is it which is interesting? You know, it's a it's a bit of a shit Yeah, and I'll remind folks that you can also put the setting on in there So if you have an Apple watch on that is unlocked and it doesn't recognize your face ID right away You've got as long as it's within range. It'll go. Yeah, that's you just trying to unlock it
