iPhone 5S: Apple’s Newest Patents Tell Us ‘S’ is for Security
iPhone 5S with Location Based Security | ||||||
 | ||||||
The iPhone 5S and iOS 7 could also include enhanced location based security that requires different levels of authentication based on the iPhone's location. If a user is at home the iPhone may only require a small level of authentification, but if the iPhone is at work or a commonly traveled to public location it may require more. Finally, if the iPhone is in an untrusted zone it could require a higher level or two factors of authentification. Apple details the workings of a location based security in a November 2012 patent filing. Apple already offers location based reminders and a Find My Friends app that may allowed the company to trial location based services on millions of devices, and now it may be ready for security. | ||||||

Apple needs to concentrate on screen size to match Samsung and the Galaxy S line. we’re tired of this little phone.

Why doesn’t Apple come out with an update to Passcode lock that doesn’t allow a person to switch the device off while Passcode lock is enabled ?
That way if the device is stolen and you have your mobile data activated, which most of us have, you can still track the device using FindMyiPhone.

That would be a great Security feature !!!
