Caravaggio,

Expect a wave of fingers cut off and eyes picked together with a stolen phone? Or kidnappings more likely?

Redoomed,

Turning on the iPhone’s Stolen Device Protection is simple—it’s just one small toggle in your phone’s settings.

There is one crucial detail that the article doesn’t mention: Find My iPhone must be enabled to enable SDP. That is to say, enabling Find My (along with biometric authentication) is a prerequisite for SDP.

lud,

Odd that biometric authentication is needed when it’s worse from a security standpoint.

Oh, there it is! You’d think they would put it under security and privacy settings.

db2,

Got a slightly older Apple device that Apple refuses to update? Fuck you. Right in the ass. Dry.

kate,

I have the 2018 model iPhone and I got this update, what do you have that isn’t getting it?

db2,

iPod 7.

TheSaus,

What is a “slightly older” apple device in this context? They still support back to the xr/se2 with ios 17.3

support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/iphone/…/ios

db2,

iPod 7 for one, it’s newer than the xr.

TheSaus,

Internet user reading comprehension challenge (impossible)

Article says it’s for iPhones, not all apple devices

db2,

The iPod is an iPhone without cellular. It has Find My etc.

TheSaus,

Ok

My 2016 gen 1 iPad Pro isn’t getting this update for the first time (iOS 17). It barely runs the last iOS, but still gets security updates.

I’m fine with that.

db2,

👍
