Apple enables Stolen Device Protection by default in iOS 26.4.1
Apple said Stolen Device Protection is enabled by default for enterprise devices updating from iOS 26.4 to iOS 26.4.1 and from iPadOS 26.4 to iPadOS 26.4.1. 9to5Mac reported the change on April 8, 2026.
The reported change applies specifically to enterprise devices moving from version 26.4 to version 26.4.1 on iOS and iPadOS. The source excerpt does not state which iPhone or iPad models are affected beyond enterprise-managed devices.
This update concerns device security settings rather than eSIM provisioning or remote SIM provisioning (RSP, the system used to download and manage eSIM profiles remotely). It is relevant to enterprise Apple device management because security defaults on managed iPhone and iPad fleets can affect how companies deploy and administer devices.
