Apple to release iOS 17.3 next week, bringing Stolen Device Protection, collaborative playlists

From TechCrunch: Apple confirmed today that iOS 17.3 will be released to the public next week, giving iPhone users new features like Stolen Device Protection and collaborative Apple Music playlists.

The company subtly revealed the release date of the software update in a press release about its new Black Unity Sport Band and accompanying watch face for the Apple Watch that features red, green, and yellow flowers to represent “the rich cultural diversity of Black communities around the world,” Apple wrote.

There will also be a new Unity Bloom wallpaper for the iPhone and iPad, available next week when iOS 17.3 comes out.

The most anticipated feature coming to iOS is Stolen Device Protection, a security setting that gives an extra layer of protection if there’s ever a time when someone steals your iPhone and also obtains your passcode. The feature can be turned on through Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Stolen Device Protection.
