Find My App
The Find My app is a handy way for users to locate their lost Apple gear. But it’s also a powerful theft deterrent, since users can actively track the location of stolen or missing devices. Recent versions of Find My can even track devices like MacBooks when they aren’t connected to the internet.
Users can, of course, recover devices that they simply misplaced. But the location tracking could also be a useful tool for the authorities to get stolen Apple devices back. Even more, we’ve seen at least one case in which the Find My pinging feature actually lead to the arrest of two would-be Apple Watch thieves.
