Apple is marketing a security feature after the WSJ revealed it can be used by iPhone thieves.
Thieves have reportedly taken up to $10,000 through iPhones by using the Apple ID reset feature.
Earlier this week, Apple made a post on X, previously known as Twitter, that included a short video on how Apple users can change the passwords to their Apple ID accounts.
"I absolutely cannot believe Apple is marketing this as a feature," Stern wrote on X.
"Of course, I tried it like minute three, I tried it," Ayas told Insider in reference to the "Find my iPhone" feature.
