i got an iphone from my god sister. the phone was given to her by her auntie. it was her auntie's husband's phone but he passed away. we tried to asked her auntie what the activation lock information was but she wouldn't tell us. is any way i can get the activation lock removed?
if you have to provide a proof of purchase, you can book a genius bar appointment with Apple and they can unlock it for it.
or you may reach out to apple support and they can support you as well with the proof of purchase.
+ Without the proof of purchase it’s not possible for them to unlock it for you.
Sorry no.
Activation Lock is a theft deterrent feature with no bypass or workaround.
Without the owner's authorisation, no thief or anyone including you can re-use the device.
ok thank you
Tell her to remove the lock, or supply Apple with the owner's death certificate, the iPhone's purchase receipt, and proof that you're its legal owner.
ckuan: The previous owner is dead.
