find my iphone（查找iphone)

不知道大家有没有丢电话的经历？丢了以后怎么办？前段时间我在旅行中丢了一件行李（ipad在里面），当时以为是丢在机场了，后来突然想起苹果的“find my iphone” 的功能，结果用iphone一查（可以用任何别的ios设备），发现我的ipad还在酒店里（值钱吧？）。马上打电话给酒店告诉了他们，…

Find My iPhone

I wonder whether everyone has had the experience of losing a phone? What do you do after losing it?

A while ago, while traveling, I lost a piece of luggage (with my iPad inside). At the time I thought I'd lost it at the airport. Then I suddenly remembered Apple's "Find My iPhone" feature, and when I checked with my iPhone (you can use any other iOS device), I found my iPad was still in the hotel (valuable, right?). I immediately called the hotel and told them, and a few days later the hotel mailed the luggage back. Another time I dropped my iPhone into the crack of a sofa and couldn't find it for a while; in the end I found it with Find My iPhone again (how much would you pay for this feature?).

Of course, even if you find where it is, what if the person who picked it up won't give it back? Find My iPhone has another feature: it can immediately erase all the data on your lost iPhone or iPad. Also, when you get a new iPhone or iPad to replace it, as long as you use your own Apple ID, almost all your data comes back (how much is this feature worth?).

A friend said a few days ago that he lost his phone and so lost all his phone numbers. For iPhone users this won't happen anymore (is that worth something?).

It seems that as long as you remember your Apple ID you can find your iPhone or iPad this way, provided you turned on the ID when you started using it (this is actually very valuable too, because people often only learn about this feature after they've lost something).

Everyone says the iPhone is expensive. Think about how much you'd be willing to pay, when you lose your phone, to get your lost data back without it leaking. If you think that's important, then......

iCloud really is powerful; otherwise Samsung's people wouldn't go home and use iPhones and iPads.
