    Wouldn’t it be easier to steal them in China? It’s where most of them come from after all.

      stolen devices are being sold in China for up to £4,000 each, given they are internet-enabled and more attractive for those trying to bypass censorship

      I’m guessing buyers specifically want non-Chinese devices, and stealing from individuals is easier than from a factory.
