hello in case of a stealing what people can do after it was locked ? i’m seeing everywhere people saying they can unlock icloud bla-bla-bla surely a lot of scams but is it really 100% ? I also see people mentioning long time like 9-15 days, probably because they’re trying to phish the owner i’ve also seen techniques where they send fake bills to apple but i don’t think apple can fall in is kind of traps the last thing I see is people “who knows someone who can replace the chip” but since the ID is in the soc and soc/motherboard is worth the price of the phone … and even if they can bypass it it will be network locks so why steal iphones in 2023 ?

Well there’s this MDM bypass. I saw online. Not sure what it means but it may be similar to a situation that happened to my sister when she lost her iPhone X years ago
She had icloud and then the thief called the emergency contact and told her that she would return the phone. There were no links, nothing was clicked.
Then after the call, the phone disappeared from her iCloud. We even chatted apple to see what was going on and they said that its not linked to her account at all and that they cannot do anything.
:(
MDM is different from iCloud/Activation Lock - MDM is easily bypassable, it’s just a company lock
But the iPhone X is checkm8able, so that’s probably what happened to that one
Ooohhh! Interesting! Never knew about the checkm8able. How unsecure…
