Q: Apple ID-Will Apple store require the Apple ID to replace an iPhone
-
Aug 29, 2016 10:27 PMby Ingo2711,Your Apple ID will only be used by you, in case you'll have to deactivate "Find my iPhone" before you get it repaired:
Follow these steps before you take your device to an Apple Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or carrier. If your device won't turn on or respond, finish as many steps as possible:
- Back up your iOS device.
- Have your Apple ID password ready. For some repairs, you'll need your Apple ID password to erase your device and turn off Find My iPhone.*
- Bring your sales receipt if possible, in case your service requires proof of purchase.
- Bring your device and any accessories that you need help with.
- If you haven't already, call to check whether you need an appointment before you go to a service location. For example, schedule a Genius Bar reservation before you go to an Apple Store.
