    Once they have unlocked the stolen iPhone, the next step is often to change the password tied to a user’s Apple ID, making it harder to locate. And if a thief is thorough, they may create a “recovery key”: a random, 28-character code that is meant to help people regain control of their Apple account in case others take over.

    Unlocking a stolen iPhone? How are they bypassing the lock?

      Idk I think you can get a machine from aliexpress that will do this? Like what they use in the factory to set them up? Probably not as hard as it sounds but presumably rather involved
