"This meant that if someone stole your device, and you had access to either another Apple product or simply the web, you could track its location."

Ah the conveyance of Apple to ALWAYS TRACK YOU! So nice of them.

I'm curious.....How often are phones stolen? Or lost?

I never lost a phone or had one stolen in the 30 years I've owned phones. 🤔

Am I just super careful/ lucky?
