This doesn't mean the theft lock feature itself doesn't have a purpose, just that making it confusing to remove was intentional to decrease hardware reuse.

- MBCook 2y agoAs someone who always trades in old devices, I promise you every single reseller willing to buy your phone will have these instruction as part of their “sell to us” process. I’ve used at least 3-4 different places over the years. Send them a locked device, they’ll send it back because it’s unsellable. No legit place is buying locked devices. Which means they don’t sell them.
