    Apple can’t even do that and they have total control of the hardware as the only manufacturer.

      What do you mean? The activation lock means people can’t use a stolen iphone so long as the person who lost it doesn’t remove it from their account. Maybe you could chop it up for some parts, but the phone is functionally useless as a phone.

            I have 3 desktop apps right now that can do it. They can also bypass remote management.

              Provide an example. Are you talking about corporate managed devices or personal ones? It’s impossible to remove a find my activation lock on a personal device.

                No, you’re wasting my time. I’m just going to block you and move on, get your jollies somewhere else.

                  Because you’re full of shit and making things up. Can’t bring receipts, don’t open your mouth and spread lies.

      Google has hardware they control. Other OEMs can choose to make it available. It’s up to them to implement.
