As of Wednesday, September 18, 2013 the new iOS 7 feature brings added security to your Apple devices.
● By downloading the new operating system, should your device be lost or stolen it cannot be reporgrammed without an Apple ID and password.
● The download is FREE from Apple.
● For additional information on iOS 7 features visit www.Apple.com
The new feature is called Activation Lock and basically what it does is force anyone who has the phone — including anyone who has stolen it — to enter an Apple ID and password before they can turn off the “Find My Phone” security feature, erase it or reactivate it.
Naturally, this feature is helpful to police who are often called upon to locate stolen phones, so they’re pushing iPhone owners to download the new OS.
The NYPD has also been posting to Facebook groups and encouraging parents and other users to upgrade their devices.
