This doesn’t match my own experience. iPhones have had a similar activation lock for MUCH longer, and are still frequently stolen. My understanding is they just get chopped up for parts and resold. I doubt most thieves are able to id which macbooks have activation locks and at this point MOST of them in the wild still don’t.
- Gigachad 4y agoI suspect this is why Apple has been moving to ID check parts against the main board. Makes the parts worth less. Personally I'd like to see them better tied in to your Apple ID so a new phone will completely refuse to use my phone camera module or display unless I have unlinked the phone from my account. If I mark the device as stolen it should just permanently prevent these parts from being used.
