Can I get arrested for unlocking a used iPhone 4S?
I was given a iPhone 4S and I want to know if I could be arrested for jailbreaking it and then unlocking it.
Also it is my grampas old one and the contract has ended on it.
I don't think you can be arrested but it will void any warranty. I rooted/jailbroke my Android but everything is fine I just voided my warranty and insurance probably won't cover it.
Nope. It will void your warranty though. Apple has tried to make jailbreaking illegal but it just won't happen. Unlocking is totally legal too. Many companies advertise the fact they can unlock iPhones.
Being an old phone, it's very UNLIKELY the warranty is still in force.
Despite Apple's objections, do as you please with it.
A jailbreak/unlock is NOT illegal - in any event.
It's your property at all. Why would you be arrested? It just not happens.

- I'm asking for a friend. She was paying for her adult sons iPhone 7 Plus device on the sprint network and he got arrested for hitting her? And is no longer allowed in the house. Long story short the police managed to confiscate the iPhone and gave it to her before he was arrested. She now wants to give the phone to her other son, and doubts her arrested son will comply with giving her the passcode. Is there anyway sprint would erase the phone for her so it's like a brand new phone? Or is the son legally supposed to give her the passcode? Anything we can do or is the phone useless.
- I bought a stolen Iphone 6s, will I be arrested? I bought a stolen iphone 6s that is not IMEI blocked or anything because the guy stole it from the store. I was wondering if i use it will it be all on me as the theif? The phone is brand new never set up and now its activated under me. Will his company find the phone, IMEI block it and track me down? He is my friend and he stole it, I did not encourage him in anyway but he sold it to me and now I'm very scared
