TL;DR

The first iOS 17.3 beta introduces a new "Stolen Device Protection" feature for iPhone users, adding an extra layer of security in case of theft. When enabled, Face ID or Touch ID authentication is required for actions such as viewing passwords, applying for an Apple Card, erasing content, and more. Sensitive actions like changing the Apple ID password have a one-hour security delay on top of biometric authentication. The feature will be available on compatible iPhone models and is expected to be released to the public in early 2024.
