Hello all. Another thread, another stolen phone.
This time it's my iPhone X.


Was just wondering if there's ANY method to get it back because this phone has sentimental value to it.
Lost it last Tuesday (13/11/2018) around 12/1AM or so.


I read from Quora that it's possible to track using the IMEI but based on my understanding, that's only allowed by the police/telco(?)
I don't think it's possible hence why I'm asking here for more knowledge.

But this time it's worst a bit since I've already removed the phone from my iCloud so it's not available on FindMyiPhone due to the fact that I had to remove it during my transition to another phone, the verification code was sent to the stolen phone which last known location was Tanjung Dua Belas, Kuala Langat while I'm here in Bukit Jalil.

I've actually contacted Apple Support to help me with the trouble and that's what he asked of me, so I had to remove it for safety reasons according to him.

Thank you in advance.

If you've removed Find My iPhone then I think it's quite impossible to recover it. Made a police report?

3 months back, someone stole my iPhone while i was praying at Mosque (gung-ho style, take and run). Incident was captured by CCTV but cant see his face clearly.

Then i trace him using Find my iPhone, and he got caught while trying to sell the phone at Phone shop.

And now it become police case and i still cannot get back the phone until court case finish 🀦🀦🀦

By removing it from Find my iPhone it is as good as gone. No way to retrieve it unless it is a telco set which you can probably try to get the imei block.

No they cant. Even after they reset etc. The moment he put the new simcard, apple will ask to remove the lock via icloud website. But he can still use it as iPod

Seems like the only thing beneficial to stolen iPhone users are the ability to locked out your phone. That's all.

Police report necessary? I thought it was just a waste of time. I just informed Digi and updated my BlockMyPhone.

Removed through GPRS I think? Since apple support said "If the device is online, it'll start erasing"

Well, I've gotten my answer and it's sad to say that I didn't want to hear what I wanted to. Thanks to everyone anyways, appreciate the help.

Of course use as part, front screen, back screen and battery else.
Motherboard just throwing aways this is common like a car chop body workshop.

Unless they know who's the user for return
