Isn't that also why most stolen phones end up in SE Asia where they're disassembled for parts?

- mortureb 3y agoThe parts talk to each other so not really for the last generation or two.
- mcphage 3y agoIsn't that what this is all about, though? The parts talk to each other, so they can't be disassembled and sold off—but since they talk to each other, it makes it harder to get them working after a repair?
- mortureb 3y agoYes but they’re useless in a Chinese chop shop. You can’t Frankenstein the parts together.
