So I saw these "lost and found" iPhone threads every day but I never thought I'll make one too one day.
So /g/, I found a lost iPhone 5s on the metro today.
It's locked and I don't know what to do with it.
It's battery died and I don't have a charger for it too.
I've got two options
>Return the phone to the owner
But idk how to find him
Law enforcement won't work here
>Keep it for myself
Idk how to get beyond its lockscreen
So any help would be appreciated
Smash it and record it
Sell it on eBay and laugh at the nigger that will buy that paperweight
Charge it with a friend's charger. Then give it back to him. Or go give it to an Apple Store, they will return it to it's owner.

>But idk how to find him
How about this
>go to apple store
>explain
>they'll charge the phone and contact the owner
No excuses to become even more of a nigger.

if you're in germany you are legally required to be paid a portion of what the item is worth as compensation
it's called finderlohn or "reward for the finder" in english

To be honest, this sounds like the most fun option.

Give it back. You can't unlock an iphone Shonte.

>implying I'd ever return anything I found

You're the shitstain of society.
>>52031682

Holy shit, SF has a lot of Starbucks.
>Bypassing a locked iphone
Why not just reset it and use it yourself?
RETURN
Give it back Achmed
OP here
I contacted the apple store
They asked me a lot of questions and want me to hand it over to the police
But i know the police is too corrupt here and won't do anything.
Long story short
>can I keep it and maybe use it as an ipod?
>also I am a poor fag.
>I can't afford to keep it even if I have this thing.

give it back jamal

Just go there and act like you are buying something. Then leave the phone on a display and walk off, then they will return it to the owner.
Hard reset and you will have a nice present for Christmas mate!
>>52031775
What don't you understand about not being able to use the phone ever for anything?
The police can't either so it's no better in your hands than theirs.
>>52031775
>i know the police is too corrupt here
where is that?
also, there is virtually no way to unlock it unless you're an autistic tech genius willing to spend countless months cracking their shit m8

>But i know the police is too corrupt here and won't do anything.
>>can I keep it and maybe use it as an ipod?
Social decay.
Just charge it up and then leave it in a public place
The owner can use Find My iPhone to get it
>>52031927
>Find My iPhone
how does this work anyway? IP geolocation?
give it back tyrone

How to hard reset it
And I remember setting up an iPhone for my friend.
It asks to connect to wifi or iTunes.
I am too scared to do it.
Also I can't access siri.
How do I find about its owner
It doesn't have a Sim card too.
Idk why though.
>>52032028
you can't
they're trolls
just give it to police and be done with it m8
you'll feel much better about it too
>>52032278
Wish I could use it as an ipod
I can't afford one.
Maybe one day.
>But if anyone else can help me... It would be appreciated.
HOL UP
*steals*

Engrave your contact details on the display with a rusty nail, then hand it to the police. Maybe the owner will be so nice to gift you an ipod.
i don't know why people say it's impossible to use a found (stolen) iphone.
just bruteforce the passcode??
and don't start with that myth about the iphone erasing after 10 guesses, nobody turns that on.
yes, if you want to do this manually, you will have to wait a VERY long time inbetween guesses, but there are ways around that (disconnecting the battery for example) and ways to automate that.
search more, and you will find!
