New iOS beta adds Collaborative Playlists feature in Apple Music, as well as Stolen Device Protection – a way to limit a chance of using device passcode to unlock some of the device features. This should limit a chance of device passcode being seen by a thief. Also, additional delay is introduced when changing some sensitive settings. This delay does not apply when device in a known location (such as home).
