The scale of operation you need to steal and sell cars for parts or sell stolen cars is in a different order of magnitude in difficulty than doing the same for phones.
We are at a stage where the only ones stealing Apple devices are the ones too stupid to know they’re next to impossible to resell and the ones that are really good and know exactly what they’re doing.

- theshrike79 3y agoWe have a different view of "individual ownership". You probably see smartphones like computers, but I think they're more like game consoles. I don't complain to Microsoft because I can't install Arch or sideload games on my Xbox. I'm perfectly fine not being able to install random applications on my phone if in exchange it becomes a harder target for malware and unappealing to thieves.
