The refurbished probably shouldn’t purchase those machines then if it’s a known issue. There’s a tradeoff here, and needing the owner to run a command to reset

The refurbished probably shouldn’t purchase those machines then if it’s a known issue. There’s a tradeoff here, and needing the owner to run a command to reset the machine seems preferable to having them be valuable if stolen
- benj111 4y agoIf it's a known issue? Or if it's a potential issue? All that will happen is that the second hand value of Apple devices will go down, because recyclers will assume X % are basically scrap.
- lovich 4y agoThey’re talking about it to the reporters? How is it not a known issue at this point?
- benj111 4y agoNo I mean if you buy 100 macbooks some will be locked and essentially worthless. In that case the value of the entire batch will be lower. So yes it's a known issue. But for each individual MacBook, it's a potential issue.
