Measures for stolen iPhones
Apple says that they will not unlock a lost or stolen device, and offers loss prevention options instead. This way if you lose your device, its protection will remain. No one will be able to open it or repair it by a third party.
MacRumours has obtained a transcript of an email correspondence between Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of worldwide government affairs, and her personal assistant Laura. The email reveals that in case of loss or theft of your iPhone, a manufacturer certified repair center cannot repair it and will no longer be able to synch with your account.
The international Mobile Equipment Identity number (IMEI) is a code known to every smartphone owner and device with this number must be registered if it has been lost or stolen. GM device Registry is an online database where GM device manufacturers can go to register their devices. It offers a wide array of customer-friendly features and support services which everyone can use without any cost whatsoever. Companies can easily see from their databases the reports of stolen or lost devices. They can, thus, prevent further theft, create a policy that will restrict employees from bringing unauthorized devices into the building.
