What should you do if you find a lost iphone 

 If you find a lost iPhone, follow these steps:


1. *Try to locate the owner*:

    - Check the phone's lock screen for a name, phone number, or email address.

    - Look for a phone case or accessories with identification.

2. *Use the iPhone's built-in feature*:

    - If the iPhone is running iOS 10 or later, you can use the "Emergency" feature to try to contact the owner:

        - Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the "Emergency" screen appears.

        - Tap "Emergency" and then "Medical ID" to see if the owner has listed an emergency contact.

3. *Use Find My iPhone*:

    - If the iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, you can try to access Find My iPhone:

        - Go to (link unavailable) and sign in with the owner's Apple ID (if you have it).

        - If the iPhone is nearby, you can play a sound to help locate it.

4. *Contact Apple Support*:

    - Reach out to Apple Support and provide the iPhone's serial number (found on the device or in the Settings app).

    - Apple may be able to help you contact the owner or assist with returning the device.

5. *Contact local authorities*:

    - If you're unable to locate the owner, consider turning the iPhone over to local authorities, such as the police or a lost and found service.

6. *Return the iPhone to a nearby Apple Store*:

    - If you're near an Apple Store, you can bring the iPhone there and they'll try to contact the owner.


Remember to respect the owner's privacy and security by not accessing their personal data or making changes to the device.

What is the process for resetting the Apple ID on a disabled phone?

Why are young people so bitter about 'boomers' and show little to no respect for them? I was brought up to be polite and honor the previous generation/s but generation Z and Millenials are extremely disrespectful to them. Why?
