How can In suggest a very important security aspect to Apple development? This will save millions of illicit phone sales and theft of phones.

people post constantly in these forums about issues with the ios devices which require a restart of the device


people post constantly in these forums about having forgotten their passcode


thieves would quickly learn how to physically disconnect the battery or otherwise turn get it to not be running


the people posting in the forums would likely be slower learners


a quick search gives many a result

Appreciate your feedback. I've been trying too get hold of Apple for years to suggest an option to not allow any device to be shutdown / powers off without entering password first. I've had phone stolen and when I try to locate it on "Find My Device", the device has been powered off not allowing me to trace it. It can be a simple option under General in settings.

Thanks

Mark
