What can i do with a locked iphone?
My mom has 2 iphones(6, and 6s) that have an apple ID/account assigned to them though i don't know the password to unlink the account. The phones originally belonged to a friend that is now deceased so whatever the passwords were we got no access to. We received the phones from that friend's sibling after her death in hopes that we could do anything with them (my mom's phone at the time was damaged)
is there anything we can do with these two phones, or are they pretty much trash at this point? (we're mainly wondering if we can get any money from them to cover the cost of my mom's new phone)
If the friend still has access to the email account, you can reset the Apple ID password via the Apple web site.
Other than that, they are fancy paperweights…
There's absolutely no way to bypass the Apple ID verification, the account info is stored on the Apple servers & not just in the phones

- Can I use an icloud locked iPhone 5 screen (digitizer & lcd) on another iPhone 5? I messed my iPhone 5s digitizer and LCD up. And the cost of a whole new one is pretty high costing more than $50. I could just buy an icloud locked iPhone 5 and have all the parts for the same price.
- Can I buy a locked iphone 4 from usa for 99 dollars and then use in india as an ipod? My uncle stays in the usa. He can get one for me. But does he have to pay the monthly charges as per contract, or can he just stop paying?
