This is mostly Bluetooth LE so that you can use their new device finder network if your phone gets lost. Thieves often turn off the phone as the first step, so this may help a lot of people recover their devices.
Not really. Thieves know how powerful aluminium is against waves
Yeah, was gonna say get a one of those rf blocking baggies or something
Thieves simply use tinfoil to block all signals. They have pockets and bags lined with tinfoil, they don't bother turning anything off.
Could still work against opportunity theft.
