Apple New Feature Proposal : iPhone Will Call Security When Stolen

In a recent security related patent filing, Apple proposed a new feature in iPhone which will enhance its security to double fold.

In the latest installment of Apple’s iPhone security-related patent filings, the Cupertino-based company describes the implementation of loss prevention software that would notify a security agency in the event the handset is lost or stolen, which could in turn lead to a police officer being dispatched to the current location of the device based on GPS coordinates

Users will be given option to when exactly the iPhone will contact security agencies, like if the device is idle for a longer amount of time with out any user input etc. Many details are sketchy at this time, but its a very good initiative from Apple. We will let you know when more details comes out on this.
