Have you ever seen an iPhone blocked by Apple? Ordinary people have certainly never seen it. Blocked iPhones are usually stolen or demo machines. It's easy to understand if a machine is stolen, because in some areas Apple has also withdrawn from loss insurance, and if the machine is stolen, then the user can get a brand new machine with just a little more money. The stolen machine will be blocked by Apple and will be unusable. The demo machine is blocked because the demo machine is forbidden to be sold, and if Apple finds out that the machine has been sold, then it will be blocked, and it will also be unusable and cannot be activated.
This iPhone15Pro Max can enter the system normally and can be used normally. However, once the machine is upgraded, flashed, or erased, it will be directly stuck in the activation interface and cannot be activated.
Many merchants will sell this kind of machine as a locked machine, and the merchant will tell you that the machine cannot be erased, flashed, upgraded, and everything else is normal. But this kind of machine is not a locked machine, but a device that has been blocked by Apple. Previously, there were many devices that were blocked by the old machine, and many people did not find that they had been fooled by the merchant until the machine could not be activated. This is the first time that the iPhone 15 Pro Max has been blocked. So how can you tell if the machine is blocked? We can query the report of the whole machine to see if there is any abnormal data in the original data of the machine.
The screenshot is the report of the whole machine of this iPhone15Pro Max, and you can see that the machine is 256GB, blue titanium.
Although the unit has been activated, it has no activation warranty date and is out of warranty.
Serial number replaced, machine replaced, repaired. This shows that this is a black machine.
The carrier is: Blacklist/Chimaera Device Policy, with network lock, and the activation policy is 2365.
Note that this is not a customized machine from the operator, and it is not a locked machine as we commonly call it. It's a sign that is blacked out by Apple. If the Blacklist/Chimaera Device Policy appears, then the device has already been blocked by Apple.
There are not many such machines, and they are generally found on black machines, demo machines, and iPhones with loss insurance. When you buy a machine, you must pay attention to it, this kind of machine cannot be bought. If you also want to buy an iPhone, if you can, you can get the serial number of the machine first, check the report of the whole machine, and see if the data of the machine is normal. If there is abnormal data or data mismatch, pass it decisively!
