ithehappy, 02 Dec 2016Damn sir, its not even worth stealing.$1.56 Million??? Not worth it of stealing.? Are you sure? Hahahaha. How funny of you to say that a $1.56 Million is not worth it of stealing. I bet even if you work 10 Years consecutive, you won't even have that kind of money on your savings account? So now, tell me. How can you say it's not worth it? :D

    If the phone cost about $100 to make then technically he stole 15,000 phones. There math down add up.

      I doubt this, this might be probably just for marketing st' or something...

        ithehappy, 02 Dec 2016Damn sir, its not even worth stealing.maybe apple marketing .

          If you stole fron thieves, you are a Hero

            Sorry, but this is lie.
            Cost of build an iPhone 5s, including R&D is about 190$
            So if he stole 5,700 devices, they were worth less than $1,1 million.

            Its look like Apple get even more money from stolen devices... Power of Marketing!

            PS. for people that dont have brain: yes, it is sarcastic comment.

                        At the prices Apple charges, that would be about three iPhones, then.

                                      By the time he gets out, the gold used inside those phones will be worth more than the phones themselves!
