hello in case of a stealing what people can do after it was locked ? i’m seeing everywhere people saying they can unlock icloud bla-bla-bla surely a lot of scams but is it really 100% ? I also see people mentioning long time like 9-15 days, probably because they’re trying to phish the owner i’ve also seen techniques where they send fake bills to apple but i don’t think apple can fall in is kind of traps the last thing I see is people “who knows someone who can replace the chip” but since the ID is in the soc and soc/motherboard is worth the price of the phone … and even if they can bypass it it will be network locks so why steal iphones in 2023 ?

These security measures don’t actually deter the theft itself. The opportunity cost is simply too big, even if only one in 5 people are intimidated enough by the threats to unlock their phone, that still makes it worthwhile to steal iPhones.
Because people have apps on their phone that can facilitate identity theft. Just threaten them and force them to unlock the phone. There is organized crime that knows what they are doing.
Or resell to a sucker.
Fuck thieves; all my homies hate thieves.
I recall my SE 2nd Generation was stolen here in Philippines. Asking for ransom for them to return the device. They can’t be called since they are using free Facebook (it uses free data for Facebook but just for browsing). They claim the signal is so slow so it will be hard for them to call them out. They will threat you that you need to send money for them to return or they will bypass the device but at the end of the day they will not return the device.
Fuck those thieves. They must be executed in public.
