What is an iCloud locked Device?
The iCloud 'Activation Lock' was introduced in 2014's iOS 7 release, essentially adding the functionality to lock down an iPhone to a users iCloud account. This feature is turned on automatically on any device when someone turns on 'Find my Phone'. Once 'Find my Phone' is enabled the device cannot be erased. Unfortunately this means an innocent consumer may have acquired and iPhone, iPad or Watch and are left with an unusable device with no way of contacting the original owner to remove the iCloud Activation Lock.
The feature was introduced as an anti-theft measure, but there are a number of legitimate reasons people get caught out by find my phone:
- Erasing the iPhone before disabling 'Find my Phone' first.
- Erasing the iPhone before signing out of iCloud first.
- Your ID may have been disabled - usually because of too many log in attempts or security reasons.
- You may have mistakenly purchased an iCloud locked device.
