Has he tried Settings, General, Transfer or Reset iphone, Reset, Reset location & privacy.


The 1 hour delay is caused by Stolen Device Protection but he should be able to use face or touch ID tonturn off Find My. However that will remove activation lock - not something to remain off for long


It will take a couple of weeks traveling around to recognise home as a familiar location
