Only this kind of anti-theft measure is more reliable. Haven’t you seen the story about the lost iPhone? In February 2014, an American named Matt lost a smartphone, which was later sold and ended up in China. In February 2015, a photo of a Chinese man taking a picture with an orange tree was synced to Matt’s phone via iCloud. Because of the orange tree, he called him “Orange Brother”. After that, a series of lifestyle photos of the man appeared on Matt’s phone, including stunning fireworks, recipes written in Chinese characters, signs of Chinese restaurants, and girls with long black hair. Subsequently, the staff at the local Apple store helped Matt disconnect it from iCloud and completely lock that phone. On February 20, 2015, a Weibo user posted a set of photos believed to be of “Brother Orange”. On February 21, 2015, “Orange Brother” appeared online, stating that he was not a seller of kumquats, and he also invited Matt to visit Meizhou. At around 11 p.m. that day, Matt posted on Weibo to greet his followers, expressing his gratitude to those who helped him find his phone and ‘Orange Brother’, and saying he would go to China to visit ‘Orange Brother’. On March 17, 2015, Matt arrived in Guangdong Province in southern China, where he was welcomed by “Orange Brother” at the airport. On the evening of April 14, 2015, “Orange Brother” Li Hongjun flew to the United States accompanied by his nephew Li Jie, in order to reunite with Matt. On April 20, 2015, Orange Brother and Matt appeared together on The Ellen Show. On May 8, 2015, Brother Orange and Matt appeared together on \"Every Day Upward\".
