Apple And Stolen I Phones: Apple Minimizes Available Market For the Stolen Smart phones!

Apple and stolen I Phones don't go together now.

Technewsworld reported that Apple announced that an activation lock status will be enforced for I Phone, I Pad and I Pod devices.

Apple and stolen I Phones will no longer match as The Find My I Phone Activation Lock will require users to have an Apple ID and password. Users should input in the information in their iOs device. After doing this, the Find My I Phone system may be shut off. Alternatively, the iOs system may also be deleted or reactivated, as reported by Technewsworld.

Apple and stolen I Phones will never run against each other as the Activation Lock hinders a thief from accessing an I Phone. However, the lock system will not be able to avoid the smartphone from being resold to a buyer in a discreet transaction.

Apple's new system will give an unauthorized buyer to input the IMEI or serial number of a smartphone to check the activation lock's deactivation. If the deactivation has been implemented, the buyer can purchase the smartphone and use it.

In an interview with Technewsworld, David Richardson, a product manager at Look Out Mobile Security said:

"One of the things that's happened since Apple launched this Activation Lock is that consumers have been unknowingly purchasing phones on eBay that are locked." 

"Sometimes it's a scam -- a person tries to sell a stolen phone that they're unable to use,"

 "Other times, it's accidental -- someone wipes their iPhone and doesn't realize it's still going to ask for their username and password unless Activation Lock is turned off."
