As you well know, buying a second-hand iOS device can become a real risk, especially if we take into account the series of security measures that Apple introduced in iOS since the arrival of iOS 7 and that makes an iOS device that has been practically useless. illegally stolen from its owner, since it can be blocked and you can never restore it without its corresponding Apple ID. Apple put at our service a website that allowed us to observe the status of the iCloud lock on an iOS device, to prevent possible scams. Nevertheless, has inexplicably removed this web page and its trace.
It does not really make any sense, and it is that thanks to this web page, which Apple selflessly included, we could avoid many troubles when it comes to buying second-hand iOS devices. However, Apple has decided to eliminate it inexplicably and almost on the sly. Its a big lost, a free service from Apple that we never imagined could be annoying.
This change has definitely not been due to any type of change of servers, since when you enter the website known as "Check Activation Lock" iCloud error is displayed.
However, Apple maintains total silence on this matter, has not wanted to give more information, and we remain alert to know what this strange movement has been due to. Meanwhile, we remind you that In its day we made an article of the basic things you should know before buying a second-hand iPhone, this way you can prevent possible upsets, and they are not exactly cheap devices, so any security measure could be understood as little. Now it's time to enjoy our iPhone, but we will stay alert in case this website becomes available again.
You can continue checking on many other websites and it is very important when buying a second-hand cell phone, search in google "check icloud activation lock activation lock" and you will see available checks.
What a move by Apple to sell more iPhones ...
I need help.
I sold my Apple Watch Series 2 to a friend, he returned it to me because he could not pay me everything and it turns out that he did not remove his account from the Apple Watch (he just took it away and I can not find a way to communicate with him).
What I can do? I can't even use it let alone sell it, is there a way to fix that? To be able to access the Apple Watch Series 2 with my iPhone.
