What I find more remarkable about this story is the person whose phone it is didn’t have auto-lock/passcode/face-id set up to unlock the phone! The guy that found it could just unlock it and open it up! WTF

That wouldn’t work in airplane mode would it? (Have no idea but assume it needs a connection of some kind)

Good publicity stunt from apple ......

(Maybe!)

 

[thejackal]

Maybe but will it blend?

You mean iPhones don't come with those cracks pre-installed from the factory...?

Apple pays out over claims it deliberately slowed down iPhones

The tech giant is compensating US customers and faces similar allegations in the UK.

Thoughts Mr. @Bozza

Pretty shameful practice, no?

They need to put some more work into charger cable durability though...

That’ll be the latest stunt by Mous re their cases

Thats what I was thinking!! Although interesting that SOS had been enabled..I guess a 16,000 foot drop would do that!

Yeah, this is also a regular theme in TV and movies - just open up the device and see all the dodgy goings-on. Really pisses me off.
