Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Apple is testing a new security feature called AutoLock in the beta version of iOS 27.2.
The tool uses data from motion sensors, Apple Watch connectivity, and network signal patterns to identify when a device has been stolen.
This initiative aims to reduce the prevalence of iPhone theft by automatically securing devices.
Implementing these sensor-based locks could significantly deter unauthorized access if the phone is forcefully taken from the owner.
