Can't turn off stolen device protection but my face id is broken I have a new iPhone and my older iPhone's face id is already broken. And when I was trying to set my new phone up with my older iPhone, I can't because it required the face id when it's already broken. Then, the 'stolen device protection' turned on. But I can't turn it off, again, bc the face id is already broken. And now I can't turn it off and I also can't set my new phone up. Is there any way to turn it off?

Your only option is to restore the iPhone to factory settings, get it repaired, then restore the backup that you made before you did that.

SDP would not be any protection if there was a way around the biometric identification requirement.
