My worry about something like this is it's essentially opening it up to be a remote access tool for anyone that can figure out how to trigger it while not being Apple.
I would personally prefer to just lose my phone and have robust measures to stop thieves from accessing my data than increase the possibility of bad actors/govt using it as yet another surveillance tool (or at least more than it already is).
- joshmanders 10y agoAgreed. I don't care about my phone, I can get a new one. I care about my data. Apple has great online storage and syncing so I can lose my device and be back up and running again on a new device. I'd rather see something that basically allows me to say "This device is stolen, make it worthless." Where Apple waits for it to phone home once and then they brick it so that it has to be taken to Apple to be reversed, notifying Apple that it was a stolen device.
