Using a lost iPhone 5 on iOS 6?
I lost my iPhone 5 or possibly had it stolen yesterday. It was on iOS 6, so no Activation Lock yet. On Find my iPhone the phone appears to be offline. If the thief does a hard DFU reset on it through iTunes, could he possibly use it again? I know that if it was on iOS 7 and it had Activation Lock it would be a paperweight because the thief wouldn't be able to activate it without an Apple ID and password. But what about iOS 6? If it's restored via iTunes can it be used again?
I don't think I'll be able to find the phone, and would be happy to know that a thief would not be able to use it.
Should have updated it
- When using 'Find my IPhone' app, does a message appear on the lost phone? I mean as soon as the app has found the location. Excluding any message or tone you can manually send to the phone.
- Lost iPhone 5s, Is sprint aware if your iPhone is in Lost Mode? I lost my iPhone 5s today. I enabled the lost mode in the phone and I'm currently tracking it. Does sprint know when a iPhone is in lost mode? Does it know if you lost your iPhone and your tracking it?
- Is it possible to find a lost iPhone using location services without an App? Is there any way to find my lost iPhone? It should still be powered on with its location services on as well. I don't have any App on the phone that is going to allow me to find it, so an App suggestion unfortunately will not be helpful. I have a general idea of where it is lost (a large school), but I would need specifics in order to find the phone. Any advice?
