A few days ago we saw a news item on the Internet referring to the possibility of Apple removing the security cable that iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc. have today in company stores. This is done so that the user has more freedom when using the smartphone and, incidentally, to eliminate what Apple likes so little in the devices, the cables. Well, this, although it is true, is already being seen in some of the new stores of the company with the bitten apple, it may be a new added problem to prevent thefts like the one that has been carried out in the Apple Natick store Collection of Massachusetts, which goes up to $ 13.000 for iPhones.
The truth is that the measure they want to adopt on the security cables has an option ahead of them in which When the iPhone, iPad or device disconnects from the establishment's Wi-Fi network, it stops working and looks like a nice paperweight. This is something that other people's friends have to be very clear about, but obviously it makes things much easier for them when it comes to taking the terminal ...
In any case, the news is not related to the option of eliminating the cable from the devices they have in stores, but to the theft carried out by a group of thieves in this United States store. Several people entered the store with hoods and took the terminals without obtaining much resistance in terms of the security of the store and also of the mall. This is one of the videos in which you can see the way of acting of this group of thieves.
The truth is that these devices do not seem to have that mechanism today that leaves them inactive and these thieves take them to resell them. In fact, the question arises as to the security of the premises and the shopping center itself, but this is already in the hands of the police investigating the case. If Apple performs security cable removal from your devices it would be good if you warned that these will stop working right out the door, even so it will be a problem to avoid theft.
$ 13.000 or 14 iPhone that's nothing
