After few days she thinking to transfer her android data to the iPhone, so she go to a switch shop to ask for help. And she go and create a new Apple ID with the staff phone but she key in herself. Den she reset her iPhone back and key in the new Apple ID. After that iPhone been lock because the new Apple ID phone nomber is other phone number. So she can’t log in the phone now. When find to Apple support to unlock the Apple ID. It’s unsolve. She been provide all document including invoice and also the the shop supplier invoice to Apple. But apple seem like not recognise if not authorize reseller invoice cos keep asking her to resubmit. Is there any solution for her case?

Apple will probably insist that the invoice be from an Apple authorized retailer. Apple does not get involved in third party sales so if the shop is not an authorized retailer, Apple has no way of verifying the authenticity of the receipt.


I am not following why she kept on changing Apple Accounts on the device but if Apple will not unlock the phone for her, she will absolutely have to remember the account information for the account to which the iPhone is locked.
