I've never had my phone or tech device stolen in general. This anti theft stuff is a red herring or a distraction from real societal issues.
Something along the lines of "sell us your rights and the device that doesn't really belong to you will not be stolen from us, I mean you."
- simondotau 2y agoI'm glad to hear you've never had anything stolen and aren't planning to have anything stolen in the future. That's a great plan and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it myself. Oh and here's a great money saving tip: if you've never been in a car accident, don't waste your money on car insurance. Nobody is forcing you to buy anything from Apple. I do buy Apple products fully aware of the relationship I'm entering into and I'm very happy with it. I consider activation lock to be a positive feature which increases the value of an iPhone for me.

- wraptile 2y agoYour insurance analogy is proving the exact opposite. More apt analogy would be turning your cars wheels square because it might be stolen. I'd rather have the wheels roll though.
