She said the robbers were bold taking her husband’s phone, but then giving it back because it wasn’t to their liking.

“They basically looked at that phone and was like ‘Oh, that’s an Android? We don’t want this. I thought it was an iPhone,’” she said.

Oh, you’re totally right. But there are still a couple of parts that don’t, and they are still somewhat profitable. There are also some parts that robbers can sell off because others don’t know about that program, and they make some money off that too. Also, some robbers don’t know about all of this, so it still provides some extra motive to rob still.
