You don't even need iOS7. It could be iOS6. Set up a new iCloud ID and you are good to go.

You can authenticate through a backup. Power-up through safe mode and install a legitimate backup. Done and ready to go.

Even the touch id is easy to break if your only concern is having a phone. The touch id will prevent you, as will a coded lock screen, from seeing the contents, but it doesn't prevent a thief from using the phone and re-installing iO7 on it.

If I were to lose my phone, my first concern would be to get it back. If that is not possible, I would wipe it remotely. They can dig around and find pictures of my son and other things, but it wouldn't be lost for long. My boss' wife recently left her's at the doctor's office. He tracked the thief with my iPhone.…

Well, now that we have the Android fanboy reaction, it would only be natural to ask for the Apple fanboy reaction. How about the Windows fanboy reaction and the Blackberry fanboy reaction? Let's not discriminate.

Of course this is possible, with the possible exception of the curved screen. I wouldn't put it past Apple to be trolling here as I believe they did with the iWatch rumors. The iWatch rumors, I believe, was one of the most effective corporate trolls in recent memory.

Lock screens, all of them, are easily beaten and don't really serve as a deterrent to theft. Lock screens are only good to keep out prying eyes from those that you don't want to see something. For a thief, it's easy to break, every single one of them. My answer is no, I don't lock my phone.

The Alan Parson's Project has similar music, especially the deeper tracks.

Blade Runner I believe, more than any other Sci-Fi has a Dicksonian quality about it and I think that is one of the reasons it stands out amongst its genre and the last 10 minutes are some of the best dialog ever put to film, imho.

Thanks!

Burning Chrome, I agree with most of your comments, but you really do need to change your Avatar because it's obnoxious.

I'm 46. My guess is you are half my age but twice as cynical. Your generation can help to do something about it. My generation would help, we've lived through the changes. We just need the right leader to turn the ship and convince the public that this is wrong and it's ok to spend a little more for morally doing…

You may have been taught in HS that goods are made in Indonesia. When I was in HS, I was taught it depended on the region of the U.S. Auto's and heavy industry were done in the Northeast and upper Midwest. Textiles were made in the South.

Capitalism will always find the cheapest labor, even if it means slave labor. Corporations (i.e. persons according to the current Supreme Court) have very little ethics. Some will try to persuade the public otherwise (i.e. Apple), but in the end corporations goal is profit and human conditions are not a concern.

Your'e a one man security "app". The problem is the other 99%.

Worst software....EVAR! Took me a month to figure out how to disable it in 2003.

I've never found any of the security software out there that actually improves my experience with my computer. I've had some that completely destroyed any joy I may have had with them and I've had one, McAfee, practically made me throw away a Mac I installed it on. I'd rather take my chances than have this stuff on…

Son of Skylab.

Lucas' instincts failed again. There is also a scene he cut from the Return of the Jedi when Yoda tells Luke that Darth Vader is his father. The deleted scene is when Luke asks Obi-Wan Kenobi why he didn't tell him. Yoda answers, "he would have if I let him". That certainly changes the view of Obi-Wan's character…

I can see the utility in a folding screen, but a 560ppi on a 5 inch smartphone?
