Phone in demo mode.

I bought a demo model iPhone and I can’t download apps or get rid of apps. Can anyone help?

Where did you buy this device? iPhones that are in Demo mode are made specifically for stores that sell iPhones. Demo mode is sort of like lockdown mode, where you can't really do anything except look around the software and the specs of the iPhone in the store to see if you want to buy it or not. I would turn it into the police. I'd recommend you to buy an iPhone either from apple.com or the Apple Store.
