Apple protects its products well.

Good. Now make them EXPLODE in the thieves’ faces...or laps.

That's Samsung, not Apple.

"Send $5000 immediately to the following account …

Your picture and address ^{_and contact tracing information_} are on file and will be used to make your life hell until the $5000 is received. Have ^{_Hope you had a_} nice day, ^{_if you don’t pony up_} it will be your last. ^{_quite a while before you have another_} ”

LOL!

Now that is what I call an APP!

But of course you don’t run the company, and Tim Cook does. We’re lucky Apple doesn’t send out free coupons for music and whatever else he might think they’d want.

Someone would have to crack my passcode and get around my biometric signature.

A bricked iPhone/iPad is worthless to a thief.
