Apple Developing iPhone Anti-Snatching Feature That Locks Stolen Phones Instantly

Apple is reportedly developing an anti-snatching iPhone feature spotted in code by 9to5Mac.

The system appears to use motion sensors, and possibly Apple Watch signals, to detect a sudden grab.

If triggered, the iPhone would lock immediately and turn on Stolen Device Protection.

That would add biometric checks and delays for sensitive account changes, making stolen phones less useful.
