Apple’s iPhones were stolen from there retail stores. The retails stores located in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis and Washington have been tracked.

  However, it seems the company won’t be giving up their devices easily so; they post a message to that device it has been disabled and is being tracked. Local authorities will be alerted. The company has long installed special software on its iPhones to track the whereabouts of stolen items. The Find, My app of apple products, allows users to track the location of their device and even remotely erase data on the phone.
