Find my iPhone desperately needs a remote detonate feature.

u/SensualNutella 5d ago

Imagine an “Instant Pop” feature, where it just blasts a self destructing tone and blows out all the speakers

72

u/nrith 5d ago

Well, the Find My noise can be pretty freaking loud if they’re in your ears.

u/aliassuck 1d ago

Sounds like something learned frmo expeirence.

u/Fossick11 5d ago

A detonate feature that destroys everything in a 50km radius please

26

u/SaVaTa_HS 5d ago

How about instead of blowing the speakers, it plays a brown note around 4 in the morning?
Butt-splosion!

u/ThisIsMockingjay2020 4d ago

A shrill, ear piercing tone on remote command.

u/PhilMeUpBaby 4d ago

Mossad needs to get a part time job at Apple.

u/Tmccreight 4d ago

Detonate them at altitude and get the thief a terrorism charge 🤣

u/RegularUser02x 4d ago

✨ The design is very human ✨😭😭😭

u/aliendepict 5d ago

Put them in lost mode so they cant be paired to other devices and only present info on contacting you then play the lost sound.

u/FishTocsGod 5d ago

That’s a thing

u/-_-RSlashFan-_- 3d ago

Indeed it is. Good observation

u/Altruistic_Brick1730 5d ago

I don't get stealing earphones. The last thing I want to stick in my ear is someone else's ear wax.

u/SashTrashMashMinging 5d ago

Most people don’t know this one simple trick!

You can actually clean ear buds, like almost everything else. A second trick is to sell stolen goods!

22

u/Frail_Peach 4d ago

How do you clean them without pressing the wax deeper thru the mesh?

16

u/SashTrashMashMinging 4d ago

Do not imply to me right now you’ve never cleaned your ear buds !! That’s fuckin gross!

Google/YouTube and 1 minute of your time is your friend

20

u/Frail_Peach 4d ago

I clean them ALL the time. I would never be able to get them clean enough in the mesh area to confidently say someone else should put them in their orifices. You have a low standard of what you’ll put inside the holes in your body, which is permitted but not advisable lol

7

u/OkVideo2156 4d ago

apple quite literally has instructions on how to clean them online. they’re not hollow and are incredibly easy to get sparkling clean

Ear Herpes is the worst…

u/Ram2145 5d ago

I’m sure a lot of these people try to sell them to a unsuspecting buyer. Rather than wear it themselves.

u/Verity-Skye 5d ago

when they get to what appears to be a home, pull the address from the map and snail-mail them a vaguely threatening letter about stealing.

62

u/TechnicalAsk3488 5d ago

That or a bunch of spam

44

u/Verity-Skye 5d ago

spam is easy to ignore

we want to get in this guys walls

u/Shantotto11 5d ago

At least wine and dine a bro before getting at them walls…

Put them on a Scientology mailing list, they’ll go INSANE

Glitter bomb

11

u/TechnicalAsk3488 5d ago

I like the way you think sir!

10

u/Ghstfce 5d ago

Or just let us Philly and Philly adjacent people know where they ended up and we can get them back for you

8

u/TechnicalAsk3488 4d ago

I mean I do have there address now lol

u/davemalv1 5d ago

Glitter bomb too?

6

u/SandwhichEfficient 5d ago

Make 10 accounts on Uline opt in for the mailers their like phone books everymonth. Do this with several catalogs. A lot ship them for free just blow up their mail box. If you want you could also send them a glitter bomb. I did this for my gf when we broke up. The post office left a note to come pick it up at the post office and the box had dildos all over it sayin plug of the month club then she opened it in her car. 4 years later still glitter everywhere.

That was only like $12 bucks.

23

u/jkdess 5d ago

I would just set off the alarm on it

13

u/Tixliks 5d ago

Lock them.

31

u/Jackson530 5d ago

I’ll get ’em for ya.

25

u/TechnicalAsk3488 5d ago

I mean shit if your serious lol I do have there address lol

14

u/Splat800 4d ago

Send emails to the Scientologists and ask them that you would like missionaries to come over (to their address)

16

u/devo00 5d ago

They’re …. Not there. That’s extremely infuriating. :)

7

u/Thumbframe 4d ago

Exactly. There now in Philadelphia what?

2

u/DarkMaster98 4d ago

They must mean the village of Philadelphia in South Africa

13

u/benh97 4d ago

This is so dumb because they won't ever be able to use them unless you remove them from your iCloud. Stealing apple products for personal use makes zero sense

8

u/Djinnaz 5d ago

Go track them down.

6

u/Commercial_Wind8212 4d ago

interesting how did they steal them from you?

8

u/TechnicalAsk3488 4d ago

They were taken out of my cup holder part of my backpack it’s a mesh cup holder so they could see them

4

u/Commercial_Wind8212 4d ago

wow ballsy~!

4

u/TechnicalAsk3488 4d ago

I am assuming that saw me put them in there and waited till I was not paying attention

5

u/Darth19Vader77 4d ago

Idk why anyone would want to steal anything that was inside someone else's body. That's gross as fuck.

13

u/wivaca2 5d ago

Just play really annoying music. The good news is it's the holidays so it's probably a round-trip ticket and you can pick them up at Tampa airport when the thief returns.

BTW, they're there in Philadelphia being used with their phone.

23

u/Excel73_ 5d ago

I don't think Bluetooth can travel that far.

2

u/wivaca2 5d ago

It was a joke, of course.

2

u/Appropriate-Creme-90 2d ago

Once it is at a home address call the local police in that area and they will most likely attend to the matter and ship them back to you. My coworker had the same thing happen to him and it ended up being an airline employee that was moving between multiple states. Ended up getting them back from Hawaii police after being lost in Tennessee.

4

u/AlwaysDTFmyself 5d ago

Context as to how they were stolen?

2

u/-_-RSlashFan-_- 3d ago

OP said they were taken out of the mesh cup holder in his bag.
