Stolen iPhones can no longer be used as spare parts...what else could you do with a stolen iPhone!!?
Apple is rolling out Activation Lock for iPhone parts in iOS 18, a smart and possibly hilarious move to combat the black market for stolen parts. Imagine you're an iPhone thief who just discovered you can't use the stolen parts because they're now as useless as a melted chocolate in your pocket on a hot summer day. It's like trying to sell ice to Eskimos!
This new feature is like a tech superhero, fighting against shadowy villains. Every component of the iPhone, from the shiny battery to the glossy camera, will be linked to the original owner's Apple account. So if you try to cheat the system, your iPhone will ask for your Apple account password faster than you can say "Oops!".
It's a big step for Apple and a giant leap for mobile security. With this new feature, Apple not only prevents tech pickpockets, but also gives users a greater sense of security. Now, if you lose your iPhone, at least you can be sure that its parts won't find a second life in another dodgy device.
And let's not forget the environmental benefits - with fewer parts circulating illegally, there's a better chance they'll be properly recycled. So while iPhone thieves will be scratching their heads, our planet will be breathing a little easier.
All in all, Activation Lock for iPhone parts is good news for all but those who live in the shadows. Either way, it's clear that Apple continues to innovate and take a leading role in protecting its users' data and devices.
This is great
Now, my iPhone can be safe
I can’t wait to upgrade to this level though
