Can Apple TRACK down a stolen iphone?

If the phone is BRAND NEW (UNOPENED). CAN THEY TRACK YOU UPON ACTIVATION OF TOUR IPHONE?

TAGS:
IMEI, SERIAL NUMBER

No, they are busy actually running a business and they arent getting caught up in silly stuff like this.

ILostFinder is a good app to find back a lost iPhone.

Yes. All phones can be tracked as soon as they are turned on, since the first thing they do is contact the nearest cell network and identify themselves.

Yes they can but they would not bother.

If it has not been activated yet, they won't have the serial ID in the computer system. That is entered during registration. Once registered, it can be locked and tracked, but not when it is new in the box. They can search their records for the numbers if you don't have them, but they can't put it on the police report for you. You would need to do that.

If purchased through a phone store, it is a different story as it is already partially registered as their inventory, (they actually bought it from Apple) and they could put it on their blacklist, which may or may not put it on other phone provider systems.

That is why it is so important to register it immediately so that the info is automatically available to all phone companies, Apple and police. Ordering anything of value should never be done to an address where there's not someone to receive it.

  • Will Apple or AT&T be able to track my stolen iPhone 5 if I never activated it? Had iPhone shipped to my house and when I opened the box it was empty. Could have been FedEx or a neighbor due to it sitting outside my door for awhile.
  • My iphone has been stolen is there anyway i can track it? I went out last night and my iphone got stolen, is there any way i can get it back by tracking it? I know about the apps you can get on your phone but unfortunately i didn't have them installed on my phone. i heard about some website where you can just put in your serial number and it will show you where the ohone was last turned on any help would be awesome apple and my provider service can't do much.
