Single iPhone tracking took down a massive smuggling ring

A stolen iPhone tracked through Apple’s Find My app led UK police to uncover a massive phone-smuggling ring. The investigation began on Christmas Eve when tracking data pointed to a shipment of 894 stolen phones bound for Hong Kong. Police later arrested multiple suspects and recovered over 2,000 devices, dismantling a group believed to have exported up to 40% of London’s stolen phones — around 40,000 in a year. The case highlights the power of phone-tracking tools like Find My and Google’s Find Hub in fighting theft.
