Lost a brand new unboxed phone

Hi I just lost my new unboxed I phone, unboxed and haven’t activated it. I bought from apple store, I have an invoice with serial number. Is there a any chance I can track this phone or I can block the phone if someone find it but can’t use it. Thank you

You can’t track a phone unless Find My was enabled on the phone before it was lost. Did you purchase AppleCare+ with theft and loss when you got the phone? If not, does your credit card have a loss coverage clause in its terms?


If you have the IMEI you can contact your carrier and they can blacklist the phone.
