Apple brings Activation Lock to iPhone parts with iOS 18

TL;DR


Summary:

- Apple is reportedly working on a new system that would allow users to activate iPhones even if they don't have the original owner's Apple ID credentials. This could help with the repair and resale of used iPhones.

- The new system would involve a new "Activation Lock Bypass" feature that would let users bypass the Activation Lock without needing the original owner's Apple ID and password. This could make it easier for repair shops and buyers to use second-hand iPhones.

- The report suggests this new system could be introduced as part of a future iOS update, making it easier for people to use and resell their used iPhones without running into Activation Lock issues.
