There are a lot of friends around who lost their iPhone 6 in recently, but the case of phone was finally refund is quietly rare, orange brother and Matt's story is more likely to occur often, not every when pick up the iPhone will hold the heart of returning. Mobile phone manufacturers are now beginning to pay more attention to mobile phone security, which is seen as a service to perfect user experience, although once lost the phone may not be able to find back, at least we can improve the probability of recovery.
When we buy a new iPhone 6, the first time may be to install a variety of applications and games for your new phone. We tend to forget to for iPhone add a "insurance", if you think the lost iPhone to be able to recover is good luck, then we will increase the chance of this luck. iPhone is missing we may not be able to recover, but at least we can through Apple's official way to do some of the best efforts, at least we can protect our data is not stolen, but also to retrieve lost information, such as photos and Contacts, etc., so that we can guarantee that we suffer the least loss.
Protect sensitive information
With the popularity of the iPhone 6, more and more consumers began to know how to identify an iPhone is a new machine that is, using the iPhone serial number (or MEID) to Apple's official website for verification. Although the serial number for mobile phone search and cannot play a substantial role, but keep their own device serial number is necessary. Many friends in the sharing of their own settings when the page, often forgot to serial numbers and MEID and other sensitive information "code", which may be used by some bad people, although the probability is very small, but this Does not mean it will not happen. In addition, the phone is lost, a friend pointed out that the report may also use the serial number, so we should pay attention to protect this sensitive information. Keep the iPhone 6 mobile phone box is of course the best, but if you do not have reservations, then do not panic, iTunes backup can also help you find the device serial number and other information.
In addition we also need to understand a concept, which is UDID. UDID can be associated with a variety of other data to the relevant equipment. For example, connecting to a developer account allows you to install or test your application before publishing, or you can let the developer get an iOS beta experience. UDID can be used as an entry to your account, just as someone else has no password to log in to your account; it will be linked to many other privacy information; but no one guarantees the security of the information.
Let's talk about our most commonly used Apple ID, which deals with App Store's application purchase, iMessage and Face Time services are open, the most important thing is iCloud. iCloud which also contains a lot of important information, such as photos, contacts, and find the iPhone and other key features, so Apple ID. The account and password once lost, it is very troublesome, and basically iPhone 6 was given to others.
Data backup
We have to do the worst plan, if the iPhone 6 is really lost, then we also hope to be able to retrieve our data, this time we have to use the data backup. Once again, if you do not have a local backup in iTunes, then it will once again rely on iCloud cloud backup, at least we can retrieve the device on the contact information, photos. It is worth noting that when you change the password or when shopping, Apple may send a confirmation email to your mailbox, then we should pay attention to see whether the source of the message belongs to Apple's official website, especially in the click link to open to another A web page, because this time you are likely to be "fishing", if the non-Apple web pages enter the Apple ID password, then your account and information security on the precarious.
Don’t give up even if lost
First of all, we can through the friend's iPhone (or iOS device) landing to find my iPhone (provided that iCloud and AppleID is not lost) or PC-side landing iCloud page to the lost device to play the sound, lost mode or wipe Out of iPhone and other operations. If the iPhone 6 is still nearby, playing the sound can make the device sound, so you quickly find the target. Missing mode can be entered so that the thieves contact the number, or enter the text content, so that the other side to see. Erase the iPhone can let you protect the important information on the device, so as not to be stolen by the other.
The faster the operation described above the better, since the device may have not been shut down (or exhausted) at this time, which gives us time to position the thief in general and improve the likelihood of being retrieved. If the iPhone 6 is running out of power, then we'd better open the Apple in iOS8 before adding new features - find my iPhone in the "send the final location", it allows iPhone power to reach the critical level to Apple to send iPhone Of the location information, this feature is still a little role, because it is likely that the thief in the foothold when the mobile phone power will be exhausted, we have the opportunity to confirm the final location of the phone (provided that the phone is not turned off).
If finally it seems you can’t get back your lost phone any more, you are suggested to choose to buy an refurbished unlocked iPhone 6 64GB from Cell Phone Age com as spare before the latest iPhone model released.
