Q: I got iPhone from my colleque. When activating iPhone, it says it is linked to my colleque's iCloud. He removed device from iCloud devices after that but still after several hours and several reboots, iPhone activation is still saying it is linked to him.

    Hi

    He needs to go to settings & turn OFF find my iphone

    He can do this on any Apple device that he owns with the same apple ID

    Click on the list if devices top left & remove that iphone from the list.

    Then you can restore iphone back to factory settings .

    Then set up over your WiFi with your own Apple ID

    Cheers
