Apple is rolling out a new iPhone “Stolen Device Protection” feature that enforces Face ID or Touch ID for sensitive actions and removes passcode fallback, while adding a one-hour security delay plus a second biometric check for especially sensitive tasks like changing the Apple ID password, with no delay in familiar locations; this aims to better protect stolen devices and user data.
