Trying to find a stolen phone… (Android vs. Apple)

1. 00:40 dude, what happened to your face?

2. iPhone wins this hands down, Android's flexibility makes it much more vulnerable and easier to be stolen

3. How old is this?
   I thought phones kept sharing location after powering off.
   My ios16 phone states the location is still broadcasting while powering it off

4. What if these guys decided to immediatelly buy new phones, spend 2000$ for those phones…

5. The fact that you had a Galaxy s22 ultra and didn't compare it to Samsung's finder feature is unfortunate. I think it works way better than Google's. I can't compare to Apple's though cause I've never used Apple

6. Once I lost my Galaxy SII 4G in the middle of a snowstorm because I dropped it and the snow muffled the falling sound and I happen to login into the Find my Android phone feature from my account and it located it's last spot with a precision of about 15 feet. Luckily the snow was covering it and nobody picked it up.

7. well this is very unique video. hope to see more

8. 2FA is a major flaw. if you don't already have another Android or Apple device signed into your account, these features are basically useless because you can't sign into another device without authenticating from the device you lost 🤦‍♂️

9. An interesting look at the probability of finding a lost or stolen phone!

10. why the f, you carry a video camera? there's 1000+ different mobile cameras do better and why 8k?!

11. Once you reached the actual devices, did either service indicate that device's specific location? Or, we're they still indicating a general location?

12. Android Authority's video quality steadily worst since David left.

13. There's always time for Tai Chi. Always 🧘

14. I think maybe you uncovered something in this video. When you said that this would be great for if you left a phone somewhere then yea retrace your steps and you'll find it. However, imagine the bad press that google or apple would get if you actually tracked down a thief, confronted them and got hurt or worse. All over a phone that you could essentially make into a brick remotely. Oh, and did I mention that the google or apple can now potentially make another sale.

15. I think that trying to find your phone if it was stolen fr it's already like too late

16. It's not just about finding location it's also about having a central register so that when the phone comes back online anywhere it can be reported to the police authorities.

17. You should continue with the situation that the thief already had the phone and you locked it, which phone the thief can reuse by anyhow, And see if it's possible to reuse!

18. Worat test or service review. Too match talking.

19. I appreciate the commitment and all but this video is just horrible all around. Bad acting and horrible planning etc etc.

20. 12:32 they answer their own question in 13:54…

21. This is fun, seriously

22. Use airdroid .. It gives precise location on android.

23. Won't the first thing a perp do is to remove the sim.
    My phone was snatched from my loose shorts pocket while cycling last year. I was about 200m from the nearest police station and instantly went in there to report.
    By the time my friend reached me & I logged into find my device (just 10-15min), the phone was last seen about 500m down the road and they probably threw the sim by then. No chance to even wipe the data let alone track them for a few hours.
    They'll definitely just wipe the device before ever connecting to the network

24. Lost my iPad at a central station toilet, got it back 5 minites later at the ticket office

25. We can find iphone when it turned off also

26. I lost my iphone on a boat journey and found it before the boat took off again. Find my failed me due to 2 factor authentication and a lack of time to get home and check the iPad. In the end it was my (non-Apple) smart watch which located it. It wasn’t stolen!

    Had it been, the phone would be switched off 100%. SIM card removed (unless it’s an e-sim) and then it’s sold for parts. Also, I imagine even if it’s an E-sim you would request a new sim and disable the old one which also kills off your chance of finding it – lose-lose scenario.

    Truth is, both manufactures need to allow disabling of switching off phones first. The minute I hit lost mode, the phone should not switch off until dead. Also, if my phone was android, you would just flash the ROM and the person who stole it can sell it as working 😮 iPhone definitely wins here!

27. If only you had a professional camera on hand to stabilize and get a professional video that isn't shaking. If only

28. stolen phones will be more and more common as the western economy slowly collapses

29. Instead of using find my device what about using trusted contacts app. If you request location even if they don't approve you will be locked in

30. Pixel very bad phone over priced

31. You know the video is biased if you say its shit bc its iphone. Without even trying. Also just giving up on the first attempt to login to find my. Find my doesn’t need 2 factor you can just click on it 🙂 And in my knowledge the iphone will only ping other iPhones in case it got lost and is in lost mode. My partner also lost their iphone once and it pin pointed it exactly.

32. To be fair anything that relies on overhead signal can be thwarted by going underground first and then putting it in a faraday bag. After that you go above ground essentially untraceable. Shielding bags are pretty cheap too

33. Thanks Much !

34. You need the Bruce Wayne app to give you the x ray mode.

35. Hes so Surprised that hes trashpple doesn't work? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

36. These hosts and production are cringe….
