> Yeah, I haven't heard of someone having their iPhone stolen since about 2015

You haven't been paying attention then. In London, phone snatching (iPhones preferred) has been and remains an epidemic to the tune of tens of thousands a year - in a single city.

They might not be resold at full price, but even selling to a fence for parts is profitable if your acquisition cost is zero.
