A new report suggests that porch pirates or thieves to steel packages left on door step shurely after delivery have access tracking data from A N T systems to follow iphone deliveries. The report says there has been a noticeable uptake and iphones s being stolen from doorsteps after being ordered from att and delivered by fedex. With the help of real time delivery updates, the thieves are somehow getting tracking numbers or similar tracking information for those iphone deliveries.
This lets them know when and where a package is delivered, allowing them to sweep in right after the package status changes. TNT is one of few telecom companies that in many cases, doesn't require signature for high value deliveries like iphones. So packages can be left unattended on doorsteps for thieves to take.
Neither fedex or A T N T has commented, and long enforcement officials are still investigating. But one theory is that the data is being accessed internally by a rog A N T. Employee and then sold to the ives.
So this is just something to keep in mind if you're ordering an iphone for delivery this holiday season.

Smart german first garment says that apple is, quote, evaluating the idea of releasing an apple branded T V set.
Gr says that this would happen after apple releases its upcoming smart display products. So at at least several years out, gen report revives a long running rumor that persisted, often on for well over a decade that apple is planning its own television. His logic is that if apple's foray and to smart displays fails, IT may have to think IT smart home ambitions once again, including evaluating whether or not to release A T V.
Apple, of course, R T cells, the apple T V set top box, which lets users get the apple experience with any T V on the market.

Apple originally released air tag in early twenty twenty one after two years of rumors and leaks, and this will be the first hardware follow up to airtel in the four years it's been on the market.
German says the new air tag too, has progressed into a manufacturing tests, which means the product will soon come to the market with a focus on Better range, improved wireless connectivity and improved privacy. For example, the iphone features apple second generation ultra wide band ship, while the air tag still features the first generation you one chip, and integration with a second generation auto ridvan ship in an area tag should make finding a misplace item even quicker and even more accurate. The improvements to privacy are also welcomed to see as the air tag has faced problems hour off over the years for its use and stocking.
Apple has made a number of software updates to air tag over the years to address those concerns, but that seems like there are more hardware solutions also on the way. Again, we expect air tag to to be released sometime in the middle of next year there. Step another, epo de of nine five mac daily.
