Das Racist.
Why, they’re spying on peaceful American Citizens! They took those phones as part of a Peaceful Protest Protected By The Constitution! For Shame!
“Apple is disabling and tracking some looted iPhones”
Unconfirmed.
But...what about Finders Keepers and all that!
It’s good to put this rumor out there.
What a nice way to track down the culprits. Better yet, let thieves activate the stolen devices, track them and their friends so they have a record of their movements for their arrest and conviction.
I had a feeling that might happen.
“...or if someone who returns stolen property to the nearest store will face legal consequences.”
What if I stole the phone, my Mom found out, beat my @ss and took the phone back to the store where I stole it?
No good deed goes unpunished! ;)
Apple should remotely activate the face camera on stolen iPhones and forward facial images and GPS coordinates to the police.
Now that they’re tracking them, they need to send the Apple Killer Drones in to eliminate the threat and recover the phones.
And i'm pretty sure those "woke" jackasses will not press charges against the thieves and may even offer them free service because of "racism" or something.
I find this encouraging. We need to get all the left wing companies to give up all their money and power for "reparations" or fighting "racism" or something.
As a matter of fact, per Alinsky's tactics of "make the enemy live up to their own book of rules", we need to *DEMAND* that rich left wingers give up all their money to poor black folk because they don't deserve it because of their "white privilege."
And we should hammer them relentlessly until they either give up their money or give up their stupid claims of "racism" and "white privilege."
That’s racist. I bet they’ll sell them and let the buyer beware.
They needed a new obamy phone.
Good. Now make them EXPLODE in the thieves’ faces...or laps.
I’m surprised at this. I thought Apple would just let them keep and use/sell the phones.
who decides what is stolen and what isn’t?
Ouija board
the local cop on the take
some other method
please be specific

That’s been going on long before the looting as a matter of security.
Apple has this down to a science.
Now automobiles are getting some of the same technology. I just bought a Subaru that is about impossible to steal successfully. As soon as I report it stolen, the car can be immobilized (unable to start) and will report its GPS location to law enforcement.
Give the locations to law enforce,emt. Oh wait, there is no law enforcement anymore in this country unless you are walking closer than 6 feet from your grandchild on a deserted beach.
