As nice as that sounds, such a system could easily be used in other, less innocent ways. You would think twice about talking in Walmart if you knew ...

Okay, okay, we all know that mobile devices are not the most durable items out there, but come on… A large number of new iPad Pro owners have opened their boxes only to find out that their iPads are slightly bent right in the middle. This is not part of their designs – the devices are clearly bent in a way they were not supposed to be.
