FindMy is not designed to always get the device back. It can locate your device in the internet when it pops up and impose a usage-lock as well as erase-remotely. Both protect your privacy by making the device contents inaccessible.


If you are prone to losing your device, buy "loss/theft" insurance that provides full replacement ($3000 MBPs are in this category, $400 iPhones are not always).
