Can i icloud unlock an iphone?
I want to buy an iphone second hand off someone but they said its icloud locked. I know that you can unlock that but i was wondering if it actually works. Like if there's gonna be a problem or sometehing.
Yes it's going to be a problem. You CAN'T unlock it without the Apple ID and password that it is associated with.
The icloud lock is the basic anti-theft system, so a stolen phone is worthless.
It is totally impossible to genuinely bypass - and as it's likely stolen you would be handling stolen property and could be arrested for simply being in possession of it.
Don't touch that hot potato. The rightful owner will be able to unlock the phone for you before you buy it.
Don't bother buying an iCloud locked iPhone. You can only do that with the owner's Apple ID & password & if the seller for some reason can't provide that then the phone is likely lost or stolen.
Log in your own Apple ID, problem solved. When you get a second iPhone, first reset it to erase its all data, then set up it again.
- Old iphone Icloud lock still enabled after I buy a new iPhone with icloud on it? If I had my iPhone stolen with icloud lock on and I was tracking it. But I buy a new one and activate the icloud and tracker, does that mean the old iPhone is unlocked? What happens to it? Will I be notified if someone turns it on? Can I track it?
- Is there anything that can unlock an icloud locked iphone 5s? I bought an iphone 5s and its locked by icloud and the person isn't answering. Is there anything that i can use to unlock it for free?
- Is there a way I can unlock an iPhone 5s if it's password and iCloud locked? I've tried restoring it by using iTunes but I can with it being iCloud protected. Do I have other options or a place I can take it to have it fully restored? I'd appreciate it, thank you.
- Is there a difference? Icloud unlock & factory unlock? I've never had an iPhone, what's the difference in factory unlock & icloud? I've seen something about original owners, is it impossible for me to get an unlocked iPhone and simply make a new account and place a sim card inside?
