Apple may be planning to steal Android’s handy anti-theft trick

• Apple is reportedly working on a feature that will automatically lock an iPhone if it is stolen from the user’s hands.
• The feature is expected to work like Android’s Theft Detection Lock by using a combination of signals to detect whether an iPhone has been snatched.

Apple already offers several anti-theft protections for iPhones, but it now looks like the company is borrowing one of Android’s smartest security tricks to close a major loophole. While features like Stolen Device Protection and Find My help keep your data safe if you lose your iPhone, they do little to stop someone who snatches the device from your hands while it’s unlocked.
