JAKARTA Apple added a Repair Status mode to iOS 17.5. This feature was launched so that Apple could find out which owners of the device want to be fixed without the need to turn off Find My Device. Currently, all iPhone users who want to fix their devices on the Apple Store must follow the company's policies, namely turning off the Find My Device feature. Actually, turning off this feature is not difficult, it's just time-consuming. Apple added the Stolen Device Protection feature in iOS 17.3 some time ago. This feature gives more delay times when users want to change some of the important features on the iPhone, one of which is Find My Device. Instead of reducing its delay time, Apple decided to launch a feature that could sustain the Find My Device feature. Improved Status Mode, discovered by 9to5google in code form, has been launched to some users 17.5 Beta 4.

With the Improved Status mode, iPhone users are only asked to confirm that their device will be repaired. After that, Apple technicians can find out if the person who handed over the device is the owner of the device. Repair status is the only new feature on iOS 17.5. Although only one, this mode is very useful to prevent devices from switching hands to irresponsible parties. Unfortunately, this mode is not included in the iPad. Apparently, Apple doesn't want to add many features to iOS 17.5. However, they will focus on adding anti-stalker features and add some design changes across the system. The whole update is expected to be released in May.
