The mobile phone fell into the endless cycle of "flashing-activating-flashing-activating" and turned into the legendary "brick." ^[1]

Apple introduced the ID lock function with iOS7 to protect Apple users. This feature is triggered when Find My iPhone is turned on. Users who do not know how it works will be locked by ID lock if they escape from prison or flash the machine. However, Apple introduced the ID lock function without giving a corresponding prompt before locking the phone, so many Apple phones were locked.

After encountering ID lock, many users went to the official website to find an explanation of the ID lock function of ios7 and ios8, but it was too late. Most of them are second-hand Apple buyers, but there are also many first-hand buyers. Many first-hand buyers purchase Apple mobile phones in specialty stores, which are activated by the merchants with their IDs. First-hand buyers are locked by ID locks when they return to the machine. Second-hand Apple buyers are unknown, and some even bought three-handed and four-handed machines. It is more difficult to find the original ID activation person than Qingtian. Owners of ID accounts other than National Bank mobile phones have nowhere to look.

To unlock the ID lock, the more reliable method is to have Apple activate the ID lock group to close the ID lock. After entering the system interface, the user will receive an email prompt from the Apple team after applying for unlocking, asking for the original invoice, merchant information and product information. Apple's email response time ranges from 2 days to more than ten days. After users apply for unlocking requirements, the only thing they can do is wait. And to be able to come up with materials that meet Apple's requirements, only some National Bank mobile phone users. All other second-hand phones are counted as phones from irregular channels and cannot be unlocked. ^[1]

It is said that the original intention of Apple's ID lock is to prevent theft. The second-hand users who have been victimized by this feature to protect user functions have to ask some questions and protest to Apple:

1. Why does the ID lock function start to be used in ios7 and ios8 systems, but ios5 and 6 have not been used before?

2. After upgrading iOS, the device sends an activation request to the Apple server. How many have been rejected because they cannot provide a password? Among them, how many are lost patterns? What percentage of the total number of application activations?

3. How does Apple define its owner status, whether it is legal or illegal, to apply for an activated non-lost mode device?

4. Since Apple officially said that this is to prevent theft, why can't it be unlocked if it proves that the non-lost mode is not theft and there is a second mobile phone with a purchase certificate?

5. Many mobile phones are not lost, but they are all obtained as irregular channels, all locked up. Has it violated the interests of buyers in the downstream secondary market? Will Apple disregard the interests of buyers in the secondary market for sales volume?

6. Does Apple intend to address the claims of innocent victims? What solution will be given?

1. The owner should ensure that all personal information has been deleted before selling or giving away iOS devices.

2. Go to "Settings"> "General"> "Reset", then tap "Erase All Content and Settings". This will completely erase the data on the device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center and other services.

If you're using iOS 7 or iOS8 and Find My iPhone is turned on, you need to enter your Apple ID and password. Once the password is provided, the data on the device will be erased and the device will be deleted from your account so that the next owner can activate the device.

3. If the owner uses iCloud and "Find My iPhone" on the device, you can log in to the icloud webpage, select the device and click "Erase" to remotely erase the data on the device and delete the device from the account . When the erase operation is complete, click Remove from Account. ^[3]

PS: After logging in to your iCloud account, please do not manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data, otherwise these contents will also be deleted from the iCloud server and all iCloud devices.

When Apple does not popularize the use of his products, owners who sell second-hand Apple phones are responsible for the rights of second-hand buyers. Second-hand buyers should also let the owners operate, so as not to spend thousands of dollars to buy back a brick! ^[4]
