Find My iPhone + iCloud is what you're describing.
Even a DFU restore of the device won't help a thief, as the activation process will simply ask for your iCloud login and will display a "Message From Owner" that you can set at icloud.com indicating the device was stolen, making it much harder for someone to purchase and claim ignorance about the origins.
- mulletbum 9y agoCan confirm. We ran into this problem in my company as we had contractors setup phones and turn on Find my iPhone. We ended having to do some not so great things to make it so we could use the devices again.

- saluki 9y agoy, that's true but I feel like Apple could do more so criminals don't even want to take iPhones, Apple could put things in place where they aren't worth anything on the secondary market. Basically unusable and could lead the cops to your house. This way if you're on the subway you can have your phone out without worrying about getting robbed. It your house gets robbed they would leave your phones because they can't be sold or reused.
