My iphone 4s is broken and i want to delete personal files in it?
How do i do that? Its an iphone 4s, my mum's gonna fix it somewhere and will use it on her personal use at a diff country and i don't want her to see my.stuff
Well, if its not working, you can't
even if that phone is connected to iCloud there's no guarantee you can remotely delete what's there even after its repaired
anyway
who the hell would bother spending money on getting a 4s repaired
sure, if the screen was cracked or something but if its not turning on. Meh. Forget it, move on unless its an issue you can deal with yourself
Go to your iCloud account via any browser and use Find My iPhone to wipe your phone
If or when your old phone gets repaired and connects to a data service it will immediately wipe itself back to factory specs. In reality all your data will remain but the memory locations will be flagged as available for reuse and the remaining data will be securely encrypted and unrecoverable in any meaningful form.
Probably not worth the cost to get it repaired
and hwne it is repaired, then is the time to go in and reset the phone.
You also need to remove 'your' appleID
and the new owner put their 'new' appleID on it
Otherwise, it remains locked to your AppleID (and password) on iTunes etc
(it is a security feature but will catch people out selling / transferring phones)
Better to spend the money on getting a refurbished iPhone 5c etc
(more powerful, and still supported by apple - just)
You also need to check that the iPhone is unlocked for any network
(almost) All iPhones are locked to the 1st network they are used on.
and you have to ask for them to be unlocked (at a cost)
Yes, a little shop on the corner can 'hack' an unlock, but unless it is officially unlocked from Apple, it can lose that when it is reset or reloaded with an update.

- Is hacking someone's personal email and iphone illegal and what are the charges they could get? A few years ago I was battling major depression and was acting rather erratically. I found out that my company was investigating me because they were under the impression I was doing something illegal. Which I wasn't. Just wondering if its legal for a company to do such a thing and what could the reprocussions be? Fyi I'm still with the company 3 years later, but still don't really trust them if what they did was in fact illegal. I'm also no longer depressed
- I want to get old photos off my iPhone 5 but the screen is broken and I have no access? The screen on my old iPhone 5 is broken. I got a new iPhone 6 but I never backed up my stuff to iCloud. I'm plugging the iphone 5 into itunes and It tells me "to allow access, please respond on your iPhone." I obviously can't do this as my screen is broken so does anyone have any tips?
