iPhone Update: iPhone thieves will be punished immediately! This feature will make their life difficult..

Apple made several big announcements at WWDC. During the event, the company released a new security feature. Its name is the Activation Lock feature. Let us tell you, that incidents of violence and looting have been reported during the 2025 demonstrations in Los Angeles. The Apple Store in Downtown LA was particularly targeted, from where dozens of iPhones were stolen. But there is a story behind this too. Let's know how Apple exposed these thieves.

Apple has recently made these thieves lose their cool. When dozens of phones were stolen, the phones lying with the thieves suddenly started sounding an alarm and a strict warning started appearing on the screens.

What message was shown on the screen?

The message on the screen read, 'Please return to Apple Tower Theater. This device has been disabled and is being tracked. Local authorities will be alerted.' In Hindi (Please return the Apple Tower Theater. This device has been deactivated and is being tracked. Local authorities are being informed.)

How did the company lock these devices?

This safety technology of Apple shows how prepared the company is to deal with the theft of its products. When the phones were stolen, they were locked remotely, meaning that the device is no longer useful to anyone. They will neither be able to reset it nor change the software. Only Apple company can unlock it and do the rest of the process.

What is this technology and how does it work?

Apple devices already have a security feature called Activation Lock. If anyone finds an iPhone on the road and tries to unlock it, he will have to enter the Apple ID and password, without that his phone will not open. The company can also track these devices in real time.

As soon as the iPhones were stolen, the company immediately disabled them and put a custom message in them which appeared as soon as the device was turned on. This message was not only to alert, but it also tracked the device and informed the police.

New technology controls crime!

This whole case has set a big example for technology. In today's era, smart technology has become a big obstacle for thieves and criminals. This also proves that brands like Apple do not only work on the look and design of their phones, they also make them smart for the privacy and safety of the users.

Increased difficulties for thieves
Stealing iPhones has now become a big challenge for thieves. Because after stealing, they will neither be able to sell the phones nor turn them on. Many such videos were seen on social media where loud alarms are constantly ringing from the stolen phones. Also, notifications are flashing on the screen.
