Two men have been charged with looting iPhones and laptops worth $329,798 in repeated thefts from Apple stores in Berkeley and Emeryville, Alameda County prosecutors said Friday.
Tyler Anthony Mims, 23, and Undre Deshaun Railey, 28, are accused of hitting the stores seven times between Nov. 27 and Feb. 7, District Attorney Pamela Price said.
The two were arraigned Wednesday on multiple felony counts of commercial burglary, grand theft, and misdemeanor counts of organized retail theft in concert.
Court documents show a string of thefts including 43 iPhones and two laptops valued at $50,715 on Nov.27; 66 iPhones worth $61,561 on Dec. 7; 29 iPhones worth $26,523 on Dec. 31; 50 iPhones worth $48,124 on Jan. 17; 64 iPhones worth $61,445 on Jan. 23; 30 iPhones and a Macbook worth $32,200 on Jan. 30; and 50 iPhones worth $49,230 on Feb. 5.
iphones cost apple 10 dollars all said and done. Parts, labor, packaging shipped to the US. Slave labor is quite profitable I guess. No way all that junk is worth anywhere near 20k. This is where it falls apart for me. Apple can claim their property is worth x amount, but Trump can’t. Got it.

A quick calculation shows that the retail value of the phones with the number of phones taken matches the dollar amounts shown.
The manufactured cost of a phone is a well-kept secret.
The DA will use the presumed manufactured cost of the phones to keep the individual losses to below $945 so that these gentlemen can go home to their wives and support their families.
Remember, in a Democrat’s eyes, all thefts are for bread to feed families.
It’s not a well kept secret if I know about it. The cost is 10 dollars. That comes from Foxcon China. If Foxcon pulls out of China as is being discussed right now, prices will go up.
Taking bets on how long before they’re released on their own recognizance.
They’ll be charged with felony grand theft and bail will be a minimum of $20K to a high of $50K. So I seriously doubt they’ll be out any time soon before trial.
According to the Liberal Democrat party and their supporters they just they just need counseling!
