How do I locate stolen iPhone using my MacBook in Iran?

Hello, good morning, I am a resident of Iran. I bought an iPhone 15 from Bromax but I had not registered it yet. My phone was stolen from me in my car. It is true that Iran is not approved by the iPhone company but I trust you that I can track my phone through you.

I have a MacBook M1 and I am in touch with you through this. Please help me.

It is worth mentioning that there was no SIM card in my mobile but the Telegram, Instagram, WhatsApp and Google Mail applications were active on the mobile with the line 09***********26.

My Apple ID iPhone 15 Pro Max

The only means Apple provides for tracking a lost or stolen device is via Find My.


Find My cannot be activated remotely.


A cellular network provider can choose to track and can block an IMEI. Users cannot.


No one here can assist with tracking a stolen device.


I would also strongly encourage you to reset your Apple Account password immediately, and enable two-factor authentication if not already enabled, before an already-bad situation becomes far, far worse. Don’t post sensitive data!
