Google will help people find lost iPhones
Google is giving iPhone users another way to find their misplaced devices -- by searching the Web for it.
Soon, when iPhone or Android users enter "I lost my phone" at Google.com, the search engine will respond with options that will allow them to ring the device, or locate it on a map. Right now, users can already get access to that functionality through Google's My Account feature, which serves as the nexus for people to understand and access the information connected to their Google account.
