The Find My feature on a phone basically locks a phone to an Apple ID. This is also communicated to Apple. The service can also be remotely activated so it then places an Activation Lock message on your phone, plus offer a few other things along security and recovery lines. You need that Apple ID and password in order to remove the feature.
I don't know the details of how it works but I am guessing when you try to sign out it is connecting to Apple to tell Apple about the signout attempt and since your ID is no longer in Apple's database Apple is telling your phone something is wrong. It cannot verify the removal request identification with anything in its database. The phone is then refusing to let you do anything with it since it thinks you could be a thief trying to get access to the phone. Before Apple introduced Activation Lock it was relatively easy for thieves to reset devices and sell them. Many people complained about that so Apple introduced Activation Lock and now many people complain about that. You can't win, I guess.
Normally the Apple ID on a phone, working through the Find My validation service, is the way Apple determines that the person trying to remove it is the valid owner of the device. Only recently did they introduce the lock removal service whereby you demonstrate with paperwork that you are the owner of the device. Apple may then just do whatever they do to tell the phone to remove the Apple ID and all its data from the iPhone.
And what if it doesn’t work and they delete my Acct does that mean I can never use my phone again? And how do I know if it works or how do I know if my account is actually deleted does saying my Acct doesn’t exist a sign that it has been deleted on the Apple servers?
So now if the activation lock works I can log in with another different Apple ID? Or it would want the deleted Apple ID because if it’s the deleted Apple ID then I’m dead and I cannot use the phone ever again
Well I’m glad to hear that but you said removal service is it the activation lock or it’s another different thing that I would have to apply for? Just to be a on the safe side so my phone doesn’t get locked
So now that I cannot off my find my iPhone only this demonstration of that link you sent to me that I sent to them the paperwork of the phone if they agree I’m the owner and approve it they’ll have to reset Everything on the phone even the Apple ID?
i mistakenly didn’t sign out I didn’t know you must sign out first I have applied for the Apple activation lock the link you sent how long will it Take b4 they can reset my phone?
Apple doesn't say how long. From posts I have read it can take a week or more.
So now if they approve they’ll manually reset my phone from their company? And everything will disappear including the Apple ID that I mistakenly didn’t log out from?
If the account doesn't exist on the Apple severs, it has been deleted. If it doesn't work, you won't be able to use your phone again.
So this is what it shows me this means it has been deleted then I’ll just have to wait and see if the activation lock would work or not and how would I know if the activation lock works or not?
If the removal service works the phone will be like factory new with all data and accounts erased.
The phone should be wiped clean and the ID removed.
So now it is just for me to sit tight and hope that Apple approves and wipes my phone clean?
I deleted my Apple ID account and now I cannot sign out of my Apple ID on my iPhone because the account does not exist hence the password does not exist too so I cannot log out
