Anyone can wipe an iPhone with Apple's own app. You don't need to go to any store to do it. And how would the store validate ownership anyway? You just can't bypass the PIN lock

So hypothetically speaking if I happen to find a random locked iPhone somehow I can take it to Apple and they can remove the lock for me? ๐ค

I donโt think so ๐ฅฒ

Why not? ๐

Bcz I think they ask for all the info about that iPhone.

Nope, u need email and password for remove passlock

Apple cannot break, bypass, or retrieve a forgotten screen passcode, even in an Apple Store. Data is encrypted with a hardware key tied directly to your screen passcode through the Secure Enclave. Apple does not hold a master key or backdoor.

Even the manufacturers at apple headquarters use power bank oftenโฆbatter..โ๏ธโ ๏ธ๐๐ฅ

Something doesnโt add up. If the iPhone is linked to an account, then you canโt just unlink it. He mentioned it would be harder if you forgot your Apple ID and passcode at the end. Iโm guessing he had to put that information in

Normally, you mark a lost or stolen iPhone as lost in โFind Myโ, which has Activation Lock enabled. You can ask an Apple Store to factory reset it, or do it yourself at home, but to remove Activation Lock, you need the original ownerโs Apple ID or a valid proof of purchase.

Stolen

What if itโs not his phone?

He was able to restore and unlock the phone because the customer said it was not logged in to his Apple ID. If it was, it wouldโve been a different story. He would need to bring a proof (receipt) that he purchased the phone.

you're literally in ๐ฎ๐ณ stop pretending to be a white woman

If you forgot the Apple ID password, I donโt think this can be done

Dude, your iPhone 8 isnโt worth this kind of effort. Ask them if you can upgrade and buy a renewed iPhone 12.

no ID at all? no.confirmation that this is actually your phone? it could be stolen ๐

So easy to sreal

๐๐๐๐๐๐ @Apple great team mates who help the public, ๐๐๐๐๐๐ @tim_cook certainly hires the right persons to do the job ๐๐๐๐

How could they do that without knowing if he owns that phone?

If find my is on and the phone is restored you would have to know the Apple ID and password otherwise the phone will be bricked until you get that info. If find my was not on there would be no problem setting up again after a restore.
