Transcripts
iOS 17.3 is officially available now and
so here's what's new in the latest
update for your iPhone if someone
happens to know your password to your
iPhone and ends up stealing it well that
person could do a lot of damage like
change the victim's Apple ID password
turn off find my and even gain access to
pretty much every password that you have
stored in iCloud keychain so in iOS 17.3
Apple added stolen device protection
feature that is designed to add an
additional layer of security in the
event that someone has actually stolen
your iPhone and happens to know your
device passcode so whenever this feature
is turned on face ID or touch ID
authentication is strictly required for
the actions like accessing passwords or
pass keys in iCloud keychain applying
for an apple card or even viewing the
card's virtual number turning off loss
mode erasing all content and settings
and so much more and you can see the
full list here by pausing the video or
you can check it out in the article down
in the description deson below but there
are even settings that will require
biometric authentication and a 1hour
security delay before you can even
change that setting it seems like a lot
but if you're worried about your phone
being stolen and that person happen to
know your passcode uh well then this is
a great extra layer of security for you
in apple music there's a new
collaborative playlist option for Apple
music subscribers which allows multiple
people to add reorder and remove songs

to leave animated Emoji reactions next
to the songs in that playlist in iOS

Apple's new Unity Bloom wallpaper for
the iPhone and iPad in support of the
black community the wallpaper includes
an outline of flowers that fill with
color when the display is active Apple
says that the blooming flowers and
vibrant colors represent Pana africanism
and symbolize Generations working
together to address Injustice and
dismantle systemic barriers there's also
a new black Unity sport band for the
Apple watch and an accompanying black
Unity watch vase available with the
watch OS 10.3 update and lastly iOS 17.3
brings us the ability to have your
iPhone connect to select hotel room TVs
via AirPlay now the feature allows
iPhone users to scan a QR code on a
supported hotel room TV to establish an
AirPlay connection and then you'll be
able to wirelessly stream videos photos
and music music from your phone to the

would be one of the first hotel room TV
manufacturers to support this feature so
fingers crossed that we get this soon
especially Marriotts which is where I
tend to PR to stay uh because that is
something that I would really want to do
I want to be able to control the content
for my phone put it up on the TV and not
have to scroll through the weird Hotel
TV menus but of course I would love to
hear from you in the comments down below
