Apple has quietly rolled out iOS 26.4.1 and iPadOS 26.4.1, quietly making Stolen Device Protection default for enterprise devices updating from iOS 26.4 to iOS 26.4.1, and from iPadOS 26.4 to iPadOS 26.4.1. Previously, this enhanced security feature was only enabled by default on non-enterprise devices. The update follows the standard bug fix release notes for iOS 26.4.1, which also fixed a CloudKit syncing bug.

Apple's support pages confirm this change for enterprise users, reflecting a continued push towards tighter device security.
