Why can't they track the iPhones (Smartphones) of the people on missing plane?
Many of them would have one and also activated locate my iPhone application. And they say your movement can be tracked on smart phones.
They were over the ocean at 35,000 feet. Not to many cell towers can pick up a signal under those conditions.
In order for the phone to be located it needs to be working and active.
The problem with using find my phone would be many. Firstly the phones are most likely destroyed in the crash and therefore not working anymore. They may be many miles under the see, and so can't receive a signal. And of course phones are switched of during a flight, so they are not active.
Maybe airplane mode makes it hard to trace
One, it was in the middle of "nowhere", as in nowhere in range of the IPhone tracking.
Two, they are in the ocean, if they weren't broken from impact of the plane hitting the water (and when a plane traveling that fast hits the water, it's like hitting a very hard and thick metal wall), then they would be "drowned".
Why can't they track the whole plane? The tracking satellites in orbit above should have detected the descent vector of the plane.
If the phone is restored the locater app will not work.
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why do people say they can't afford iphones? My mom has been jobless for many years and my dad is stuck at a dead end job and they still manage to buy me expensive smartphones, expensive brand clothes, etc. I even have 2 computers. And i'm not spoiled because i will get a good job in the future and pay them back, but if i can afford it, then most people can afford it.
- Why are Iphones so expensive than other smartphones in the market? Iphones are manufactured in China… So the manufacturing cost should be very low. Of couse, they have done a lot of R&D work… But so have other smartphone companies like Samsung, HTC etc While you can get other smartphones in the market with same features as in Iphones (or even more features than in Iphone), why are Iphones so overpriced?
- What's the apple's app called to where you track people where they are? I want to track my good friend, but, I don't know what that app is called for Apple iPhone's. Can anyone help tell me Please?
