How Apple is trying to stop phone snatching… #c#carterpcstech #iphone #android

If someone steals your phone but it's locked, it's worth like 300 bucks.But if they can snatch it unlocked, that's a whole bank account jackpot.And grabbing an unlocked phone is even easier because it's just right there in your hand.It's a real problem in places like London, and Apple's trying to solve it.

Their plan is to use your phone's accelerometer and gyroscope.which together can detect speed and motion.That's how they make crash detection work.It can tell it was going 60 miles an hour and then came to a screeching stop.That's probably a crash.And with the anti -snatching feature, they're gonna use those same sensors to detect the motion of a phone being yanked away.

They're even planning on using your Apple Watch to detect, wait, the phone and the Apple Watch started moving away from each other very quickly, right after the phone was yanked away.Let's lock the phone.
