Apple Delivers Boost to iPhone and iPad Security with iOS 17.3 Update

Get ready, Apple fans! iOS 17.3 and iPadOS 17.3 are landing on devices today, packing a welcome punch of security improvements. No pesky rollout delays here; this update hits everyone at once, unlike some other software makers cough Google cough.

The star of the show is the brand-new Stolen Device Protection feature. Imagine someone snags your iPhone and even knows your passcode – uh oh, right? Well, fear not! This new layer of security kicks in, requiring Face ID or Touch ID to access saved passwords and adding a crucial safety net for sensitive settings like your Apple ID password or device passcode. Change those crucial elements? Buckle up for a three-step security tango: Face ID or Touch ID, a sneaky one-hour waiting period, and another biometric scan afterwards. It’s about time! We’re scratching our heads wondering why this wasn’t a thing already. Let’s hope Google and Android pals take note and bring on similar protections soon.

But security isn’t the only shining star in this update. Feast your eyes on a fresh wallpaper, jam out with collaborative playlists in Apple Music (complete with emoji reactions!), cast content directly to your hotel room TV with AirPlay’s new hotel support, and enjoy even-more accurate crash detection.

So, iPhone and iPad users, raise your virtual glasses to an update that delivers both peace of mind and fun new features. Cheers!
