Stolen iPhones Disassembled And Sold In Black Market

Stolen iPhones, despite Apple’s security, find their way to underground markets like Shenzhen, China. Instead of being sold intact, these devices are disassembled, with parts sold individually to make them untraceable. China dominates the global trade in stolen electronics, with phones being smuggled and dismantled. Apple’s security measures, like activation locks, fuel this illicit trade of phone parts.
