Found an iphone

If you found an iphone, what would you do?

Finder's keepers, or?

Please tell us what would you do, and your sign 🙂

keep it. give it to my mom maybe.

iPhone are designed to be practically useless to anyone else aside from the owner due to the security settings. Unless you know the person's pass code, you might as well return it.

Personally, I'd just return it regardless.

iPhones are the shizzle.

Actually happened to me twice recently with in a few months the first I found in the restroom at a park the phone was locked and about to die so i took it home and charged it. By the next day the owners friend called and i told him when I would be available after work for them to pick it up turns out they lived a few hours away gave it back to him and he gave me a 50. The second was after a concert as I was leaving I noticed it on the floor next to a trash can I decided to stick around after to see if anybody would call looking for it about 30 min later the guys gf calls looking for him tell her I found his phone and waited for her to come and get it. I was amazed at how beautiful she was totally wasn't expecting it when she thanked me and gave me a hug I melted her hair smelt like luxury lucky sob.

return it, give it to lost and phone, etc.

I want to return it, but they haven't been back to claim it.

I have kept it at work for 4 days, and they only tried calling on the first day when everyone was off work. It's of course locked, and numbers/text don't show, just the name.

Thinking of keeping it at work for another week for the person to come claim it. Annoying tbh, you would think someone would come looking. It's common sense as they left it on a bench right outside my workplace.

all we need to do is to go to Find My Phone app (on another iOS or iCloud.com), enable Lost Mode to display a message and contact info on the lost phone and track the exact location

a friend of mine just did that a few days ago. she and her hubby drove to this guy's house and knocked on his door lol. the guy didn't contact the number displaced on the phone via Lost Mode and gave them an excuse that he was going to bring it back to work after his day off or something lol

it has nothing to do with the zodiac signs. if you intend to keep the phone, you are a thief. and not a smart one lol

You found it at work?

Give it to your HR or front desk reception and get it off your hands.

....unless you are planning on keeping it anyway.

We are basically the HR/Management. My co-worker jokingly said "oh, lost phone? It's mine". I've been protecting it from him lol.

So I can get into the phone's Lost Mode how?

Sigh, this is creating more work for me.

Im Keepin even tho i have one already the more the merrier...im a gemini?

I'd return it to the owner or turn it in to the manager, etc.

If it was a shitty Android I'd do the same.

If it was a shitty old flip phone, I'd do the same.

Crackberry? Yeah, I'd return it.

A Windoze phone? You betcha. That shit's REALLY going to be returned to it's owner.

Nokia's used to be great, then they became shit. I'd still return it.

If it was the most expensive current iPhone (7), I'd return it.

Lost Mode is for the owner to enable. All you can do is to charge it up and wait till the owner to call or set up Lost Mode to display their contact on screen.

It's probably an older iPhone. i'd immediately jump on it if i lost my phone. can't live without it. and the new ones are not cheap. the cell carriers don't subsidize the cost of new iPhones anymore

I found one in a huge parking lot in suburbia. Threw it in the car contemplating what to do with it on the drive back to the city. I thought they'd probably call and we'd arrange a meet up to return.

30mins later a text comes in all "We're tracking you!!! Return the phone no questions asked!!!"

I was so pissed. I didn't wan't or steal their shyt phone how about a thank you for finding it. I mean I can't even access it to respond to a text.

So I lead them on a chase all over the city before returning home and let them track me there. They come to my door all aggressive and I guilt trip and berate them for their rude assumptions. Lady offers to give me money and I slam the door.

Now, I'd leave it were I found it.

I was just thinking about it this morning!

Return it. Track down a number that elicits "mom" and make a call.

How can I find this "mom" number?

This is precisely why I didn't want to take it home, and left it at work! How rude of those people!

I took it because I knew some other person would likely pocket it.

I'd wait where I found it for a bit to see if someone comes looking for it so that I can give it to them directly. Take it to the company/store upper management so they can put it in lost and found if the place I was at had one. Then I'd either call the "if found" number on it if there were one, or take it to an Apple store for them to return.

I don't even take money if I find it on the floor. My nephew found nearly $ 200.00 in front of a gas station and I made him take it back to them. As it turned out nobody claimed it so the store gave it back to him, and I suggested he donate a portion of it to an organization that helps the local community; which he did.

I've made it a point of personal pride to work hard for, and to keep, the things I have and value. I wouldn't want to be that guy that found a little old lady's phone she may have misplaced that her family got her to use in case of emergency. Okay... that's probably a stretch since it's an iPhone, but hey... you never know the situation/story of the person on the other side.

Can the Apple store find the owner?
