I am pretty sure the actual intention of the bill is to damage the secondary market and get more people to just buy phones new instead of used, for fear that their secondhand device will get bricked after coughing up a bunch of money.

That would definitely be an unintended side-effect.
Since when do politicians care about the personal property of their constituents? A kill switch is a convenient way to keep people from organizing, witness the Green Spring in the middle east.
One more way to ever so slightly remove your freedoms under the guise of protection.
if this bill get approved then my saving will be doubled I have already saved approx half of the bill . My bill was over 200+ but i cut it to $120 with the help of Remindme2save
This still won't defer thieves from taking the iPhone apart and selling individual parts. The screen, motherboard, and battery alone is worth quite a bit

Shouldn’t that be 'Kill Bill' switch? ????
Apple needs to require a password to power off an iphone. This is the first thing thieves do.
Not that simple. If your phone freezes, you may need to do a hard reset. That wouldn't be possible with a password or Touch ID.
Edit: actually, yes, you could have a requirement for a password to turn the phone off. A hard reset would still require a password on restart.

Why? Even if they power it off, they can't wipe and re-activate it. There's really no benefit to preventing power-off.
Tracking. If you turn it off, it can't be tracked or deleted.

Are you likely to buy a phone without seeing it turned on?
But I guess you could use it as a paperweight.
Your comment has plomelled me into confusion.
