This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don’t like Apple but it’s great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

    I wasn’t presented with a dialogue that said “login to establish device ownership”.

    There is an entire screen in the initial setup that explains that the machine is added to your Find My and what that means. You probably just clicked ‘continue’ without reading.

    Also, you don’t have to do anything inconvenient. It’s not your laptop so not your problem. The owner can have activation lock removed if they provide proof of ownership to Apple.

      You really earn your “apple simp” tag. You know apple doesn’t give a fuck about you, actually.

      And I really don’t care about your invalidations of what happened to me. If by some chance I did make some other mistake besides using my personal apple account, it’s irrelevant. I do not think it should be possible to accidentally opt in to this bullshit. It is a shitty feature to force on every user. And it shouldn’t be possible for an employee to render thousands of dollars worth of company hardware useless trash ready for the landfill. It shouldn’t be possible intentionally, let alone by accident. If you removed the apple schlong from you mouth for a second you might see my point but you won’t.

        And it shouldn’t be possible for an employee to render thousands of dollars worth of company hardware useless trash ready for the landfill.

        And it isn’t. Like I said before: Apple will remove the activation lock for the owner of the device. Just provide them proof of purchase.
