If you have your own experience that is different to this, let us know. Maybe they just don't keep all the devices in their database, at least those that are Clean and not Sold by Apple. This does look like it's intentional, since it's an automated system that allows the older devices to be unlocked. If you haven't receive an email saying the unlock was successful within an hour of sending it in, it probably wont go through. Looks like the main reason devices get unlocked is: Device age, and not where the device was purchased.Īll devices unlocked seem to have been auto-unlocked, meaning they were checked by Apple's system, while all rejected devices were on human-review. Receipts varied from eBay, local marketplace, REAL Apple invoices etc, nothing was faked. While every rejected device was used within the last year. All unlocked devices were unused for at least 1 year. Newest model rejected was an iPhone 13, all rejected were 11, 12 and 13. Newest model unlocked was an iPhone XS, most unlocked were iPhone 6, 7 and 8's. All 52 devices had an iCloud status of CLEAN. All of the rejected devices were rejected within 1-5 days. 12 devices that got unlocked this way, got unlocked within 1 HOUR. It appears it has to do with: Device age, when the device was last used, and when the iCloud account was accessed.įrom the 52 devices tested (a couple of mine and from a few work colleagues that own repair shops):ġ2/52 got UNLOCKED - while the rest got rejected.

You fill out the form with the device information such as: Purchase date, Purchase country, Purchase store and Purchase receipt. "Get Started" on the bottom of the page. Blacklist status doesn't seem to affect approval rates.
It only works on devices with iCloud status of CLEAN, it cannot be marked LOST.
It works on passcode lock, disabled and Hello screen devices.

If you're unfamiliar with what's going on, here's a breakdown. This will only be a temporary thing, to not clog up the subreddit with screenshots. You can use this megathread to share your successful / rejected requests or ask questions regarding it (Don't share info such as IMEI numbers, request ID's or such). As well as iCu - The ultimate tool for Windows For everything setup.app related - is still your go-to. The main goal still is Setup.app removal, and it always will be.
