If you mobile phone gets stolen, then there no need to hit the panic button. The answer to stop mobile phone thefts lies with Apple. Apple may have found a way to deter people from stealing mobile phones and this has come into light after a recent patent application. By this technology there would be a guardian recharge circuit, which would disable any further charging if the computer or any other charger it was paired with was of the unauthorized variety. This limitation would help curbing thefts. At the moment we can assume that this technology would be used for the iPhone and iPod but we hope that later on it will be used for other devices too. A big help for mobile phone users.
