I actually like that my device cannot get stolen and be taken apart for parts. If only I can control whether a part can be sold or not. Together with the ability of checking whether a part is unlocked or not.
- ge96 3y agoUnfortunately theft will still happen just because "apple = expensive". The coded parts makes it seem like it's a disposable/single use computer unless you send it in. Also most people I would venture can't/don't want to take apart their computer eg. need heat gun/remember how to reassemble it... So it's like pick a side fully support or don't... I feel two ways about bricked devices too. Those stacks of devices that are fine hardware-wise but locked so essentially useless.
- cute_boi 3y agoI disagree. If stolen iPhone becomes brick, then the price thieves can earn will be considerably less and it will disincentive them to steal phones. What apple can do is unlock the parts only on owner's consent. Then it will be win win on both sides.
