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.

I get this as being a bit of a hurdle, but wouldn't a good option in hind sight be to create a separate work related apple account based on your work email? I've done that in the past with various companies for iPhones and MacBooks. Makes it cleaner to return the device and doesn't compromise my personal account should they ultimately need my credentials on the non-owned-by-me device.

    The thing is, I never expect logging into a service to immediately lock my device to that account. But I've since learned not to trust Apple's login systems for this reason. So yeah, I won't buy any other apple devices and any work machines will use a work account for everything like that
