This support article has a list of things to do if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen. --> If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

- The Find My service described in the article is the only recovery feature Apple offers. It must be set up before the device is lost.



The other way to find it is to post notices about a lost item, ask friends, take a walk to places you visited recently.

So ask yourself this question. If your iPhone is dead and is not putting out signal, because it has no power left, how would you expect to find it? If you had had Find My enabled it would at least have told you the last location before the iPhone died.
