Activation lock is definitely the coolest bit in there, but from a technical perspective, what does that mean? You're still talking about client-enforced security; will jailbreaks (/similar classes of exploits) be able work around it?
This one is a big question mark, since it means that the device is either really locked down, or activation lock is just a marketing bullet point that won't mean much in reality. I'm not sure which of those choices I prefer.
Not sure. They might have (assuming) built it into the firmware... But there are always ways to get around things.
And what about resale? Will I need to specifically transfer my ownership via Apple?
That was my second thought. Seems like a great way to screw people over via Craigslist.
