People shouting Free iPhone loot Apple Store, Apple uses same iPhones to identify looters and alert cops

Apple has a security feature in place that can be used to track and disable demo iPhones that are stolen from its stores. This feature is designed to deter theft and help law enforcement recover stolen devices.

When a demo iPhone is stolen, it will automatically display a message on the screen that says "This device has been disabled and is being tracked. Local authorities will be alerted." The phone will also be locked and unable to be used.

Apple can then use the phone's GPS location to track its movements. This information can be shared with law enforcement to help them identify and apprehend the looters.

In addition to tracking stolen demo iPhones, Apple also offers a service called Find My that allows users to track their lost or stolen iPhones. Find My uses a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth to locate lost devices.

Apple's security features can be a powerful tool for deterring theft and recovering stolen iPhones. However, it is important to note that these features are not perfect. Looters may be able to disable some of Apple's security features, and they may also be able to sell stolen iPhones to unsuspecting buyers.

It is important for consumers to be aware of the risks of buying stolen iPhones. Stolen iPhones may be locked, disabled, or tracked by Apple or law enforcement. Consumers should also be aware that stolen iPhones may have been tampered with or used for illegal activities.
