Apple Stores are places to visit. Those of us with a fence usually visit regularly. browse new devices and accessories. Like everything in life, there are always people who are friends with others. And there have been cases of theft as particular as the one in Murcia, where people dressed as Santa Claus entered the store. Generally, thieves want steal the devices to resell themit’s later. However, these iPhones, iPads, Macs, etc., are demos and are locked as soon as they are released from the Apple Store.
The perfect way to fly with AirDrop
In this case, we moved to the United States, more precisely to New York. There, a beginner YouTuber discoveredor how to get Apple apps worth more than $600. We talk about its professional applications:
- Final Cut Pro
- Pro Logic
- Movement
- Compressor
They are all apps designed for content creatorsand that this newbie YouTuber would probably be very good. The price of Final Cut Pro alone is $299.99. Wanting to have this application, he started thinking about how to get it… and bingo!
He prepared to go to an Apple Store and chose the one on Fifth Avenue. There, he stood next to a Mac display and .app files started being sent via AirDrop to iPhone. According to what he himself says in X, in just fifteen minutes he had everything copied and executed on his Mac. Such was the success of this publication in. more than three million views.
How does this method work and what happens to apps on your Mac
The method is simple, and for the moment Apple has not imposed any limitation to AirDrop on your demo devices. You can do this at any time since these Macs can update their configuration remotely by being enrolled in the so-called “Demo Program”.
Once the applications are on your Mac will function normallysince Apple programs do not have any type of activator or license registration email. Of course, when there is a new update, they will not be able to download version because they are not purchased with the Apple ID found on the Mac.
And can this have legal consequences? Technically, the software has intellectual property and for practical purposes, it has value like any device in an Apple Store. However, it is very difficult to know which applications were submitted and to whom. Of course, Apple can notify its employees and security personnel about this practice so that they are more attentive.
