    Default how an iPhone was lost, and then found, thanks to GPS and Find My Phone app

    Apple's current iOS has a feature that can help owners find lost iPhones and iPads. The app is called Find My Phone.

    NY Times tech columnist David Pogue lost his iPhone on a train ride from Washington DC to NYC. (It was probably stolen). David's search for the phone went viral on Twitter, and after 5 days, the phone was recovered by local police in a town in Maryland.

    I have found my phone that had miraculously slid under an edge of carpet in a car. Saved me so much headache, great feature! Cool story.
