I've heard stories of people getting their phone snatched from their hand by a thief on a moped, then seeing the thief checking if the phone is unlocked while driving away and throwing it away immediately if it is (probably smashing it to the ground)
- judge2020 5y agoSeems like it'd be mostly useless, though - everyone I know sets up the iPhone without messing with too many settings, which means enabling Find My iPhone (which is on by default). The only place I imagine it being worth it is outside of Apple Stores or cell carrier stores where there's a higher chance they haven't set up FMI yet.
- michaelt 5y agoPresumably when you snatch a phone, you don’t know if you’re getting a (worthless) iPhone until after the deed is done…
- williamdclt 5y agoI don't have an iPhone so I don't really know what I'm talking about, but maybe there's ways to reset the phone as long as it's already unblocked? It would take a while for a victim to get to a computer and use Find My iPhone Anyway, I assume they do something with these unblocked phones, but maybe only androids :shrug:
