Q: Find My Iphone
My new Iphone 7 was recently stolen. It was fully charged and locked. Within 10 minutes of it being stolen i went on Icloud to "Find My Iphone". The thief had turned my Iphone off so it could not be tracked. So my question to Apple is this: Why not require the Iphone to be unlocked in order to power it off(or at least make it an owner option in Settings)?
This feature would have allowed me and/or the police to track down and recover my Iphone.
This feature would discourage theft and encourage the return of lost Iphones that are found.
My Iphone was insured through Apple. It would reduce insurance claims paid by Apple for lost and stolen phones.
iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2
