Having my iPhone stolen is a nightmare scenario, but I’m prepared for it already. I’m not as worried about the device going missing as I am about protecting and recovering my data. The iPhone is the most important computer in my life, after all. Thankfully, Apple makes it easy to back up all my data, keep it protected, and restore it to a new iPhone if mine is ever stolen.
Apparently, iPhone thefts of freshly delivered devices are on the rise. Some porch pirates have figured out how to access AT&T package tracking information so they can grab the goods just as they land on your doorstep. That means your brand-new iPhone might be stolen before you even touch it.
The iPhone 16 is going to be a highly coveted gift this Christmas. After all, it’s Apple’s latest iPhone. If you’re about to order an iPhone 16 for yourself or a loved one, you’ll want to pay extra care when you place your order.
