Where is your iPhone?

Let me answer that, at least as far as I am concerned it is in my pocket where it belongs. Should I forget where I left it, or The Goddess forbid, it gets stolen, I would still know exactly where it was because Apple has this handy thing called ‘Find my iPhone’ which lets me track the location of my iPhone and send it a message which is displayed no matter the user is doing. If I want I can remotely lock the phone, and even wipe all my data off of it if I so wish. On the other hand, I could simply not leave it on the conveyer belt at an airport security check, on the back seat of a taxi or somewhere that a lowlife chav can grab it and scarper. For thousands of people it seems that knowing where their mobile phone is creates something of a problem at this time of the year though.
