MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- Apple released a minor iOS 26.4.1 update for iPhone 11 and newer models, primarily addressing unspecified bug fixes.
- The update fixes an iOS 26.4 bug affecting iCloud syncing in some apps, as reported on Apple Developer Forums.
- Stolen Device Protection is now automatically enabled on enterprise-managed iPhones updating from iOS 26.4 to 26.4.1, enhancing security for workplace devices.
- Introduced in iOS 17.3, Stolen Device Protection requires Face ID or Touch ID authentication for sensitive actions, adding a security delay for some changes to prevent unauthorized access even if the passcode is known.
- Before iOS 26.4, this protection was off by default and could be manually enabled in Settings; now it is default for regular users and enterprise-managed devices.
