Apple's invested heavily in component security though, especially for e.g. the iPhone. For good reason of course, a stolen iphone in itself has little value as it can be bricked by the owner, but there is / was a huge market in parts, so Apple built in security in the parts or the main board/OS to make that a problem as well.
