Does the video claim this is unique to Apple/iPhone in any way?

The journalist interviews a police chief in the video who claims "99% of these cases" involve an iPhone rather than Android

If that's true (the 99% claim), then I doubt that's for any technological reason.

Thieves would simply target people with iPhones because they're more likely to have money, and in particular people with the newest flagship iPhones.
