This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don't like Apple but it's great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

Doesn't that already exist as the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) partition?

    Honestly not too familiar with that. I imagine if they're touting this as a new thing, FRP either does something different or was lacking compared to this in some way.

    Though it is Google, they could have just killed FRP in favor of this and added messaging features like they do with everything else
