If they targeted you specifically because you had an iPhone to steal (or really, any Apple hardware), that would be dumb. If Android phones were easier to unlock when stolen, and could be confused for iPhones, that makes more sense. The extortion thing also makes sense, but I don't think many victims would take the chance that the situation would become worse after that (when handing over the cash).
- tombert 3y agoYeah, fair, and maybe people wouldn't bother stealing the Vision Pro. It's just not something I would walk around wearing, for the same reason I wouldn't walk around wearing a real Rolex (if I could afford one).
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoA Rolex is much more steal-able than a Apple device, since you can't lockdown mechanical movements. However, most of the people walking around with Rolexes are probably wearing fake ones, so even then its a crapshoot.
