Wish this could be reduced lower. If I don’t unlock my phone in a day, something is up and extra paranoia is warranted.

How about a system for rebooting if the phone is not close to a specific Airtag or similar device. Ofc. with the possibility to override by unlocking.

Find My already gives notifications when a device gets separated from your other mobile devices including Airtags. Apple could add extra actions on top of that to automatically mark as lost, reboot, or erase.
