iPhone 5 Apple s (AAPL) stock might be taking a beating, but that doesn t mean the products dreamed up by Jonathan Ive and company aren t still hot commodities. On the contrary, Apple products are still so hot that thefts of iOS devices helped drive New York City s crime rate up for the first time in 20 years, according to The Wall Street Journal. The news isn t shocking considering the data the New York Police Department released in October, which revealed Apple-related crimes were up 40% this year. Paul Browne, the New York Police Department s top spokesman told the WSJ, Overall crime in the five boroughs is up 3% so far this year, driven by the thefts of Apple products. Browne said there would actually be a slight decline in crime citywide had thefts of Apple products remained the same.
