Apple remotely disabled and tracked iPhones looted during the riots in France, with affected devices displaying the message "Device deactivated and tracked." The unrest reportedly caused insured losses of up to €1.2 billion, with around 3,000 storefronts vandalized or looted. The move highlights Apple's ability to brick stolen devices and comes as France assesses the widespread damage from days of disorder.

Why now: The riots caused massive looting, and Apple's remote lockdown of stolen phones is striking new detail on the fallout.
