Scammers Sent Fake iPhones 'For Repair' to Get $3 Million in Authentic Phones From Apple

Two Chinese nationals, Haotian Sun and Pengfei Xue, residing in Maryland, are facing up to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of sending thousands of counterfeit iPhones to Apple between 2017 and 2019. The men used fake iPhones sourced from Hong Kong and submitted them for repair, receiving authentic replacement iPhones in return. They spoofed serial numbers and used aliases to cover their tracks, resulting in a $3 million worth of fraud. Sentencing is scheduled for June 21. This case is similar to another involving two brothers in San Diego who exchanged counterfeit Apple products.

iOS 17.5 Beta unveils Apple's 'Repair State' for iPhone servicing: How it works

Apple has introduced a new "Repair State" feature in iOS 17.5 that allows users to send their iPhones for repair without disabling Find My and Activation Lock. This feature simplifies the repair process while maintaining security measures. Previously, deactivating Find My also turned off Activation Lock, making the device vulnerable to theft. The new repair state feature allows users to keep Find My active and the device trackable during the repair process. This feature is currently limited to iPhones and is expected to be released alongside iOS 17.5 in May.

Don't dry your damp iPhone in a bowl of rice, Apple says

Apple has updated its guidelines for dealing with water damage on iPhones and advises against the common practice of submerging a wet device in a bowl of rice. The new support document warns that small rice grains can actually damage the phone if they get lodged in the device's ports. Instead, users are advised to unplug any charging cable, tap the phone against their hand with the port facing downwards to let excess liquid escape, and then store the phone in a dry area with airflow for at least 30 minutes before attempting to charge it again.

Instagram will test a new nudity protection feature. Here's how it will work

Instagram, owned by Meta, is testing a new feature called nudity protection to combat sextortion and intimate image abuse. The feature uses on-device machine learning to detect nudity in direct messages (DMs) sent on the platform. If nudity is detected, users will be reminded to think twice before sending the image. The feature will also blur and place warnings on images containing nudity in DMs, giving users the option to block and report the sender. Additionally, it aims to educate users about the potential risks of sending explicit images. The feature will be turned on by default for users under 18.
