Thanks for the concern...very depressing...bayadan ko pa cash out for 19 months pa. Penitensya ko na siguro to...
If it is not jailbroken, there is no way for the thief to access the phone. But if it is, one can easily remove the passcode and Apple ID without restoring it using iFile or iExplorer. I am sorry for the loss.
the sad thing is..the thief found a way to access my phone...probably because I use a simple 4 digit passcode...touch id was activated...he disabled find my iphone probably by sending an email to my phone to recover my appleid to change it's password...and even erased my ipad remotely...by the time i got access to find my iphone my appleid's password was changed...even my yahoo mail which i used was also compromised...went to globe to have my phone blocked...the thief won't get to use the phone per se...just a big ipod touch...
Mmm........in California, there is a law that mandates all Telcos to install kill switches precisely to deter the theft of smartphones. It is working. Cellphone theft is down. Here, there is talk of doing the same. It just makes sense to give smartphone owners here the means to fight back. I hope Congress works on this ASAP.
The kill switch is a big deterrent for cellphone theft, our government should require it. Our telcos are too greedy. They even now want to charge users sms fee for disaster announcement which was passed into law. Perils of a 3rd world country?
For all you know, your iPhone might be traveling back to its original birthplace. This story is very timely for anyone who is interested to know where most stolen iPhones are bound to go. http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/i-fo...-across-the-world-became-a-celebr#.omAv5jadMJ
Ouch sorry to hear this bro. If I remember it right ikaw yung ka PM ko regarding Globe's iPhone replacement. Ang sakit isipin 128g pa yun. Mag move on nalang tayo. May dadating na mas better soon :6
reading about how the thief managed to get through the passcode and even disable the ipad is scary. Does an iphone block it if passcode is entered incorrectly for a number of times?
I'm very sorry for your loss. It not goes to show that the only thing protecting your personal data and giving thieves full access to your emails and iTunes account is your pass key.
There is. After 6 wrong entries, it will lock itself for 1 minute. I have a hunch how the thief did it and I would guess that he/she didn't use any special equipment to do this. The most bothersome aspect of this is that two-factor authentication became useless in this scenario. There is a lot to learn from this case. Sorry for the loss, OP.
