How do I find the owner of an iPhone 7 with a broken/glitching screen?

My friend found an iPhone 7 while camping While looking for his other friends phone, which was not an iPhone. This iPhone looks like it had been lost for a long time, and I'm not sure if it's been reported lost or stolen. The screen is cracked, but also glitches and goes dark after about 2 seconds and can't be unlocked, but I have access to the SIM card and the sim number. Is there any way I can find who lost this phone? Or sell it without worry of getting in trouble for possessing a lost phone at an ecoATM?

Call the place that sells them and they might be able to tell you how to find the owner

You can't sell it legally, since it's not yours. You can either turn it in to the police, or take it to your local Apple store or Best Buy. They may be able to track down the owner.

You could try asking Siri "Whose iPhone is this?"

Or take it in to the carrier where the SIM came from.

Option 3: Turn it in at the nearest, convenient cell phone store and let them find the owner or otherwise deal with it.

You don't need to find the owner.

Simply turn the phone in at a police station or other law enforcement office
or at a phone store.

Try plugging it into a computer. The name and details should pop up. But in my opinion if the screen is f***** they probably just chucked it away.

  • My screen keeps glitching on iphone 5s? Every time i try to slide or touch my screen just just moves in a glitchy way. Its like when i touch it 10 other ghost is touching and sliding on it. Basically like ghost touches. (my phone is jailbroken but i don't think thats the problem)
  • My iPhone 5S screen is constantly glitching? I recently got an iPhone 5S and I've been experiencing a serious problem. When I unlock my iPhone or plug it in, my screen will glitch. It will look like you're seeing doubles. It will slowly return back to normal. White lines also appear on the screen. What is wrong with my phone? My software is up to date and it is not a jailbroken phone.
  • Jail broken iPhone glitching? My iPhone 5 (jailbroken) keeps glitching in weird ways, when typing it can press random things in the keyboard, when I'm in things like articles it just like rapidly zooms in and out and scrolls, and in some place it keeps clicking the bottom of the screen, during calls it tends to touch speaker and contacts and "touch" the home button and the volume buttons. Do you need a list of my tweaks to see what might not be playing nice?
