That also

Thank you. At least I have some piece of mind now

You’ve been told multiple times: If, for any reason, Lost Mode remains pending indefinitely, the device will still be activation locked so long as you do not remove it from your Apple ID account nor provide the device passcode or your Apple ID credentials to anyone.

Even if they’re able to wipe the device (via DFU or Recovery Mode) before Lost Mode is activated, your personal data will be removed and it will still be activation locked.

What's your battery health percentage? Likely, a culprit here.

Hey. A few years back Apple introduced a feature called “Automatic Switching” if all the devices are on the same iCloud account, when you’re done using iPhones and pick an iPad, it should switch automatically. Even if it doesn’t work, you don’t need to disconnect AirPods from iPhone to connect to iPad. While AirPods are connected to iPhones Just go to Control Centre on iPad, tap and hold Bluetooth so a list of available devices shows up. Then choose AirPods. They will connect to iPad and disconnect from iPhones. I do this all the time between my Mac and iPhone.

Assuming you're using same iCloud account on same devices then it can connect automatically when you pick up the device (when they're in your ears) when you enable that feature it's there under AirPods settings. Also, you don't have to disconnect a device to pair with another.

Okay u prob left it in heat for long periods of time repeatedly damaging the seal

Yes, they do automatic switching smoothly

Yep I understand that, my only concern is since lost mode is still pending and not actually activated yet, what happens in that specific case.

Battery health also courses this

Just because it's an iphone 12 doesn't mean they can't get water damaged. It's water resistant, not waterproof. The water resistance seal becomes loose overtime. The 12 series of phones are now 2 years old.

Lost mode is more for securing your data, and aiding in getting your phone back from an honest person. It won't prevent wiping of the phone in iTunes. But in which case your data will be wiped and also the phone will still be activation locked. Without your password, they will not be able to use the phone, because it will be activation locked.

That's why in some higher level scams, they try and phish the password from you, so they can remove the lock. Again be wary of fraudulent emails, Apple will never ask you for your passwords etc.

A sound has been recognized that may be massive shitting

Nice lock screen

cries in iPhone 7+

🤣

I tell mine to play night cricket sounds when I go to bed so my rabbit may/does not get to bored in my studio.

not by much, iphones have a dedicated circuitry to handle this constant listening and recognising of ambient noise

I bought one of these yesterday, primarily as a speaker for when I’m in the shower and want to listen to YouTube videos. Is there anything else I should use it for that’s actually useful and not some gimmick?

USB Type C and actually being able to own my device(so no blocking third party repair)

Even if they have internet access, they’ll still need your iCloud account details. So yes, they’ve basically got a fancy paperweight.

So they cannot set it up without internet access? At least that’s a piece of mind that they have a brick now..

Even if lost mode is still pending, the phone is activation locked to your iCloud account. If they wipe it and try to setup the phone again, it will require them to enter the account details to complete the setup.

This. Likely the storage is full, and it might boot loop if you restart.

Not me. I‘ll try the farting. Gotta be a lot of fun.
