So I lost my iPhone 5 and I want to ask you guys if my phone is 100% safe. I've told O2 to block sim and phone and default passlock where if the person who has my phone types passlock wrong 10 times he needs to go into iTunes but this is what I want to know. Does he need my icloud email and password to backup my photos , info etc? And if he does choose start from new everything of mine photos , apps , contacts etc will be wiped and there's no way for him to see any of that? And could u guys also give me any ideas to make sure my phone is 100% safe like can I call apple to tell them to wipe everything from my icloud? Pls help
Your iphone will be locked out now.
If they restore via iTunes to try and use it this will wipe all your contents too.
They wont be able to access icloud etc unless you made a note of your apple i.d and password in the notes section and they managed to look at your details.
Did you have the 4 digit password activated ?
If you feel worried then start changing your passwords now.
The 4 digit password by Apple is one of the strongest security pieces of software on the market.
I honestly believe their is no need to wipe things from icloud.
Most theives and finders of phones are just interested in either selling it on or using it themselves and not in the data on it. Well the ones who dont hand them into the police that is.
When you get your replacement just restore from your icloud back up.
Apple are introducing another security feature in iOS 7 where if someone finds an iphone and tries to use it by restoring they would have to also inut the apple i.d it was paired with to continue using it. Which is about time !
