If the phone displays an Activation Lock, it is going to be useless to you or anyone else except the original owner. Take the phone to an Apple Store or authorized Apple Repair shop for recycling. Best Buy stores....if you have one near you....will also accept the phone for recycling.

I lost my IPhone at a UPS store here in Forest Hills, NY 11375. The store never sent it out for delivery. My feeling was it was taken by one of the employees in the store, because I told him the contents of the package was the latest model of IPhone 15 because they are obligated the contents of the package. I trusted this store because they have a good reputation. Can Apple trace where's the location of the phone? I know somebody will use it.


Can someone helping how to solve my problem. I have been going to the store and asked them what happened to my package and nobody will tell me anything. I've been depressed everytime I think of this.
