It's simple for Apple.

This shows how ignorant people are. I respect everybody I dont care what color your skin is. But people are saying it's ok to steal, and destroy peoples stuff. These looters are just as ignorant as the racist cops.

Yup, it has to be registered, well err setup on store computer. Idiots.

That's not even Karma .. That's logic, Its APPLE TECHNOLOGY

Lol stupid f**ks

That’s what they think 😝

All this would not have happened if George wasn't murdered!

Well Duh 🙄

This is great but when your Apple product is stolen. They don’t do anything other than give you and options to delete your data.

Sell the parts

DEMOS!!! 😂😂😂

Does that mean Apple can track any user at anytime if they want? 😰

Everyone knows this, I thought.

Stolen gadgets should blow up right in their faces.

Idiots!

Not true. If you know what you are doing with an apple product. I ain't saying shit cause i ain't no snitch.

Yeah they will lol

You don’t take stuff that can be traced 🤦🏿‍♂️

Lie lmao it’s called jail broken don’t believe the hype

Androids smh

If you actually believe this you clearly have never had your phone stolen.

Stupid is stupid as , that’s allI gotta say.. 🤦‍♀️😂😂

Apple won’t be selling them either.

Haha

Yea but the average person might be duped online. Be wary

Good

Onass02

Morons

FOX5Atlanta Those phones have trackers on them

FOX5Atlanta

AnnCoulter 🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂yes they will

It doesn't matter. They are going to sell them online and the real loser is the one who doesn't know their stolen.

MichaelRapaport Easy fix. Google it. Morons

They gonna break them down in to spare parts. But I ask ma self, what if they return the stolen items?

All the Black Community must be proud

MichaelRapaport Why Not? I will buy the lot

MichaelRapaport It’s called jail break. Hackers are one step ahead of them.

MichaelRapaport Incorrect headline. You can pawn anything someone is willing to buy regardless of whether it works.

MichaelRapaport We all know you can’t steal an Apple Product which is why i buy one!!🤷🏿‍♂️😂😂

Duhhhh they’re idiots for thinking otherwise 🤣🤣🤣THERES a whole serial number they can hack them phones !

You can use a monitor.

St0len Apple gadgets now can be only used as paper weights 😂😂😂

Can the items be electronically traced? If so arrest whoever is in possesion of the items.

AnnCoulter The looters were too dumb to realize all their stolen goods from Apple are useless. Got to love it.

Either way that phone’s gonna sell, people sell stolen iPhones for parts often

AnnCoulter Poor babies.

PaulZeise This shouldn’t of been advertised

Theft is theft .this is a crime .And they should be charged as criminals ' All 'who have looted .....!

So basically they have useless piece of fruit 🍎

AnnCoulter apple will turn them on, dims like rioting thieves.

AnnCoulter Perhaps, but they can still sell the items for cash to willing dupes on the street.

No. Really? Dam. Go arrest them!

AnnCoulter Karma is a bitch 😂😂😂

Yes they will I know somebody who unlock iPhones and iPads that’s nothing TRY AGAIN TMZ

And many of them have GPS too.

They just sell it for drug money

They will still sell them to some poor schmuck online.

I looked at Craigslist as soon as I saw the Apple store being ransacked and sure enough about an hour later ads started popping up inquiring about buying IPhones “no questions asked” lol. Some disappointed ppl out there.

AnnCoulter Actually they should be able to track those devices to the bearer...

It's the same outcome when you buy that garbage

Not to justify the looters but Apple shouldn't be too sure though, I have seen and heard crazy things in my few years of life. The things that are being unlocked here 🙌

LakerLudz Lol by now y'all should realize what society is now.

Bet you if they were looted android phones nobody would give AF .Apple has a good reputation

Good they should't he rewarded for looting

Trying to protest racism but jokes on them cuz this prob made the world more racist

Need to get tough on these criminals. They are hurting the purpose and message of the protestors

Michelle_IC Apple IS pretty cool . . .

AnnCoulter Terrorism!!!!!! Read wat happend in south america!

But the headline isn't entirely true. Like the wireless keyboard in the photo. Just a Bluetooth connection and they will be able to use that easily.

🤔

AnnCoulter Stoopid is as stoooooopid does!

Looters are playing themselves! God don't like ugly!

That’s so stupid why steal cell phones when you can’t even use them

thats awesome

Dumbasses. Apples always a step ahead.

Instead of watching and taking pics, how bout doing something about those scum.

Wait I thought only WHITE ANTIFA were looting! That’s what media said.

LOL Karma

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

AnnCoulter Black people ruin everything

AnnCoulter Just some peaceful protesters

Just sell it to middle easterners they can activate them!!! This will certainly piss off these crackers since they’re so bothered 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾by looting instead of lives

But that was kinda obvious, right? 😅

But they sure secured justice for what's his name 🙄🙄🙄

Are you sure? Cause I’m using one right now

POS’s!

AnnCoulter Oh really :) And they thought they will get away with that. Think again.

AnnCoulter Steal a high tech tracking device... Genius!

Pointless

Can i return them for cash😉

AnnCoulter they can be used for beating people over the head and smashing in windows

Wow....just wow 🤦🏽‍♂️

AnnCoulter

True, dumbasses should know that every iPhone they steal and isn't activated at the store is an expensive paperweight. An that's the new iPhones that are out now.

Y’all can unlock them all you want. The display items aren’t like the actual products. They’re demos. Completely useless once they leave the store.

Shows how ignorant they are

Unlocker Services guy : 'challenge accepted'

This is totally unacceptable.

There not smart enough to know that

Find my iPhone ❓

AnnCoulter Don't worry they will put a chain on them and wear it around their neck.

AnnCoulter But Apple can use those devices to trace looters.

AnnCoulter The anarchy Hollywood & Neo-Marxist gutter culture encouraged over 4 years, race baiting, lies about black victimhood, stolen elections, has reached it's logical conclusion. The images should haunt the careers & lives of such people from now on. No mercy.

AnnCoulter

Great, now the next release the phones will be more expensive. Thanks looters!

AnnCoulter That's not very woke of apple

AnnCoulter Looters: Yo this bitch phone don’t be working, gives me a refund. Store employee: Sure here and keep the change.

AnnCoulter Oh yes and they’ll be able to track the items too

Please, I can unlock this in minutes. 😂😂😂 Keep stealing them, will be unlocking as many as I can.

Wasted

AnnCoulter Does anybody else question why many Apple stores remained close in states that had decided to open? Coincidence or all their surveillance tools in their phones let them be aware

_dasiago Looool!!

Dumbasses smh

AnnCoulter Good

AnnCoulter

AnnCoulter I thought that effeminate soy boy Tim Cook stood with the rioters

AnnCoulter

AnnCoulter Bless their hearts. That’s going to adversely affect their income. What’ll you bet the Dems will want to give them subsidies?

AnnCoulter That is SO RACIST. OMG. You white supremacists are trampling on the memory of Floyd George!

AnnCoulter No shit.

AnnCoulter They should bitch to Apple about that. I 100% guarantee the people at Apple will do whatever is necessary to fix that.

AnnCoulter The looters got no brain

AnnCoulter They will sell for parts and try to jailbreak.

AnnCoulter Wait should we be sad for them or mad or happy? I lost track of what is woke?

AnnCoulter ANTIFA SPOILED ROTTEN CODDLED BRATS WITH ZERO COPING MECHANISMS POSTING ON INSTAGRAM FOR LIKES AND VALIDATION THROWING HISSY FITS WHO WILL NEVER BE TRUE MEN.

AnnCoulter

AnnCoulter So apple is racist?

AnnCoulter Racist

AnnCoulter ha ha now they are stuck with plastic garbage

AnnCoulter haha! good! fucken dicks.

And Kim Jong Un is dead.

No one said they were smart

These pigs, I thought these protests were for a cause.

I know they going to get caught

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

IDIOTS!! 😂😂😂😂

Lol you savage thieves!

Duhhh

__KobbyTakyi Come sell screen for circle

🤦🏾‍♂️

Such idiots! Apple 🍎 would never allow their stolen property to be activated !!And hopefully they’ll still track devices 🤞and press charges on those who entered their private property and stole what wasn’t theirs!!This act will catch up to many, down the road! So pay the price!

So is Corona virus over? Or this is the halftime show?

Does that also apply to the 27” iMac 🖥 in the picture? FOH

Phone Hacker:

y'all r stupid

This has nothing to do with protesting, and everything to do with poverty. This is what you get, when your whole society/ system is glorifying the rich, and slapping the poor in the face everyday. It is a sad sight. I do not condone it, but I understand it. Norway 🇳🇴

Silver_Watchdog Well they can always sell it to the Southern Hemisphere, it will still work there! lol

augssssss Buh them hardware still worth something
