Smartphones sold in California will soon be required to have a kill
switch that lets users remotely lock them and wipe them of data in the
event they are lost or stolen. The demand is the result of a new law,
signed into effect on Monday, that applies to phones manufactured after
July 1, 2015, and sold in the state. While its legal reach does not
extend beyond the state’s borders, the inefficiency of producing phones
solely for California means the kill switch is expected to be adopted by
phone makers on handsets sold across the U.S. and around the world.
