    So the owner calls the phone, which is answered by the thief who pretends to be Apple?

    Interesting.

      They don’t necessarily have to answer. They can just note the number that appears on-screen and text it later from a different device.

      Usually the next step for the owner is to try get into their Apple ID to access the lost phone functions. That’s where the texts come in.
