I can see how it will thwart thieves who want to steal an iPhone for personal use, as some do. but what about all the thieves who want to sell it for drugs, or whatever?
What do they care if the person they sell the phone to, doesn't work?
They rob from a victim, then sell a useless brick to another hapless victim, and the thief still walks away with money.
It's certainly a good feature that I welcome, but this still seems an issue.
Why doesn't apple program all their phones upon entering incorrect passwords to snap photos and GPS locations and send them icloud, perhaps even letting the victim secretly control the phone remotely, so that thieves can be caught. seems to me thats the only real way to stop them.
if they wind up with a useless iBrick, they'll sell it anyway, and have two victims and make money anyway. make it so every theif gets busted, and then they'd stop.
Thats my take anyway, what do you think?
