iCloud Check
Avoid iPhones and iPads that can never be activated
Verify a device’s iCloud and activation lock status before buying. Avoid locked iPhones and iPads that cannot be activated.
How It Works
Confirm lock status in three steps
1
Enter IMEI or serial
Submit the device’s IMEI or serial number through the Finora Unlock panel.
2
We query Apple’s records
Our system checks the device’s iCloud activation lock status directly.
3
Instant lock status
See clearly whether the device is locked to an Apple ID before you buy or sell.
Why It Matters
An iCloud lock can make a device unsellable
An iPhone or iPad locked to someone else’s Apple ID cannot be activated by a new owner, making it effectively worthless as stock.
- Avoid devices locked to someone else’s Apple ID
