Why you shouldn’t put your Stolen IPhone in Lost Mode:You’ll just gave it away
I know what you think!!,my phone has been stolen it has a lot of sensitive data that I don’t want anyone have access too.Well it’s true and it’s advisable from most people that once your Apple devices which include iPhone,iPod touch,iPad or Apple Watch have been stolen you have to mark it them as lost that is if you turned on The Find my network at First Place but in today’s article let’s see how that makes things worse and dangerous.
Can a Stolen IPhone be Unlocked?
Let me tell you something and make things clear for you,I work at phone repair shop and I can assure one thing is that all iPhones including the latest Iphone 13 can be unlocked and be fully usable with SIM cards plus all features so in short they can be unlocked/bypassed and yes even if you locked your iPhone with passcode or you have the find my Iphone Feature turned on.
So if the thief is really not an idiot,it is really simple as you only need to put the phone in DFU then install an ipsw file and later on connect the phone to tools like Checkrain to jailbreak the phone.After that use to bypass the lock F3arRa1n or you can use another tool called ifrpbypass to register a new serial number number.

Why it’s not good to put your iPhone in lost mode!!
Now that you know that your iPhone is already vulnerable.What makes things worse is when you put your iphone in lost mode and you erase everything you had on that phone remotely.Congratulations you have just gave away your phone so easily since this makes it easy for websites like Unlockresellers to register your iPhone with a new serial number so that way your phone can be used and sold to another person as if nothing happened.
What to do if your iPhone is Stolen?
If your iPhone is running iOS 14 or the latest iOS 15.My advise would to don’t do anything if you have have your passcode in their,that way even if they find a way to bypass the home screen they won’t be able to do things like calling,using mobile data or login their new iClouds.This makes the phone completely useless to them since it will be like children toy and if your lucky enough to get your iPhone back,once you login your iCloud everything will be back.
