What if the person you got the device from died?

The person I got this iPhone 6s Plus died a week after giving it to me leaving it locked and there’s nothing I can do with it.

Please head to ➔ How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple accounts - Apple Support for help regarding this.

If the link does not help then, yes, donate the cell phone to the recycling station.

should I just donate it to a cell phone recycling station? It’s a shame because it’s almost in perfect condition.
