iMore Question
Hello, I lost my iPhone 5 yesterday at a party with unsuspicious people, when i realised that it's stolen, someone had already changed password of mine Apple ID, because he had access to e-mail, which always stays logged in. I changed email and password as soon as i could, logged in to iCloud and surprisingly device wasn't removed from the iCloud account. The problem is, that i've turned on Lost Mode, giving a number and a message + putting phone on a Passlock, but the phone hasn't appeared online for 18 hours already, so i'm getting worried, and i'm not quite sure if i had Find My iPhone turned on.
The question is - if the thief has possibly used apple id and its password to wipe out the phone to factory settings, it would become totally unconnected to my Apple ID and i have lost my precious device, even if it shows existing in Find My iPhone app on iCloud, but offline all the time? Is it possible to find out if the phone has been restored to factory settings and i got no hope anymore, but to put it on a blacklist? I was able to get signal while was calling at the same time checking that app status, but nothing and then he turned off again
Gratefully, Juris.
