Apple tests auto-lock for stolen iPhones
Apple announced the testing of a new security feature for iOS aimed at protecting iPhones from theft. The feature automatically locks the device when it detects suspicion of being forcibly taken from the user’s hand. This feature, internally known as "AutoLock," relies on the phone's sensors such as the gyroscope and accelerometer to distinguish sudden movements associated with theft. It also monitors the connection between the iPhone and the paired Apple Watch. The system includes mechanisms to prevent accidental lockages during normal use. When a theft is confirmed, it activates and enhances the protection of sensitive data by enabling a "stolen device" mode, which requires biometric authentication and delays sensitive operations. Although no official launch date has been announced, the appearance of codes in the beta version suggests that development is ongoing.
