I have found a lost iphone, what do I do, it was a couple of weeks before I could even find someone with an iPhone charger to see if it still worked when it came on though absolutely no information on the screen just a keypad for the lock code....I don't know what to do, how to return this device to it's rightful owner
I don't even know what iPhone it is
People on here are saying to look at the medical ID, but if that doesn’t work, you can hold the middle, circle button down, or on a phone without it, hold down the power button, or even say “Hey Siri” to access Siri, and ask something along the lines of “What’s my call log” or “View my call log”. Sometimes Siri will read out the log, or you get a screen where you can actually see all the calls at once. Wither option works, but the one where you see all the calls works best and fastest. With this you can tap any previous call in the log to call that contact. So look for contacts like “Hubby” “Mom” “Dad” or even names. If someone picks up, you can probably get an address to ship the phone.

I'd be surprised if even 10% of the iPhone users actually use the Emergency Contact / Medical ID feature ...
... but it can't hurt to look.
Turning it in to "Lost and Found" or the police is ALWAYS the right move ..
... but since you're commendably trying to do the right thing ...
Check to see if JUST MAYBE the owner has setup emergency contacts.
On the passcode entry screen click "emergency" ... followed by "Medical ID"
He/she MAY have listed some emergency contacts which can then be dialed using the "found" phone if the SIM hasn't been deactivated (although it probably has by now)
Post notices around where you found it, or take it to the local police, or if applicable, the Lost & Found department of the facility where you found it.

Thank you for that, I'm going to have to find a charger first , I'm an Android user, I will definitely try that though
