In the end, locking a hardware device to an online account is just stupid. They marketed it as a tool to prevent theft (and recover if lost) but in reality, it has not prevented theft at all (if anything it has increased as the phones value has ballooned).

Apple is the only one who truly profits the most from this "innovation".

I have had an iPad stolen, and while I could track, it definitely didn't make any difference.
