The United States is now threatened with several cases of looting incidents on many stores nationwide. One of these is Apple retail stores. However, here's a warning that everyone must be aware of. All stolen iPhones can be tracked by the Apple company, which only means that if you have been stealing iPhones or any Apple products, you need to return it now.
Don't steal iPhone on stores; Apple knows where you are
George Floyd's protests resulted in unexpected damage to all industries in America. For one, Apple has been the top store being looted by several protesters out on the streets.
Broken windows, stolen devices, and many more damages were reported by Apple retail stores. In fact, in order to protect other retail branches, Apple's Tim Cook already closed down the majority of its U.S. stores.
Here's where it gets interesting. If you think that Apple would sit around and let looters steal stuff, you're wrong.
Forbes reported that looters can not use all stolen iPhones and other Apple products. Obviously, the company has a system that can track down a user's location once a device was taken illegally out of the stores.

A picture that was tweeted on Twitter shows an iPhone-- supposedly stolen from Apple store-- has a warning on its screen saying, "Please return to the (store where it was stolen). This device has been disabled and is being tracked. Local authorities will be alerted."
The tweet is now trending on social media with over 55,000 likes and more than 7,000 retweets.
This is no longer new
Apple iPhone tracking is no longer new to the company. If you have been using an iPhone for quite some time now, you would know exactly that iPhones have the ability to be tracked once stolen or gets misplaced.
Using the 'Find My' functionality, the owners of the iPhone can easily know where the device is. So if it has been looted, of course, Apple would know where to find those looters.
"If your device goes missing, put it in Lost Mode to lock it immediately and start tracking its location," Apple advised.
Now, iPhone looters may have two options. Either secretly return the device on the store, or just throw it anywhere so you can't be tracked by the company.
