Is there a good reason why you might want to remove an iPhone marked as lost from your iCloud account? It seems like something that should just not be possible.



Maybe you don't want some random phone in China clogging up your map until you die? I could see wanting to get rid of it. Be nice if you could hide it or something. Maybe a button to brick it out of spite and be done with it forever.


We’re talking about possible improvements:

- hide the Lost device from the map after a month without unlocking it for them to sell.

- gather more information: is it lost? Stolen? What to do next.

- the device should be locked and blacklisted until you mark it as actually found.


Bricking stolen phones is probably the best way to fight this


…if you find it?
