How to check Activation Lock status via Apple's support pages
March 22, 2022 - Apple took down a web tool that allowed anyone to check the status of the theft-deterrent Activation Lock feature. While the link to the iCloud Activation Lock webpage is now dead and the associated support document detailing Activation Lock no longer references the tool, it was discovered that potential buyers in the market for a second-hand iOS device can still check Activation Lock status by IMEI or Serial Number through Apple’s Support website.

r/mobilerepair on Reddit: How do I check if an iPhone has iCloud lock ON without turning them on?
September 8, 2021 -
I have a bunch of iPhone 6/6S/7 with their corresponding IMEI/SN. But they all lack a proper working screen/battery. With their IMEI I can check online if they have Fin d My iPhone ON or OFF, but they don’t say a word about the iCloud Activation Lock.
If FMI is off, does it mean it’s activation lock free? This was much easier when Apple had their own webpage to do this. Thanks in advance!

Activation Lock is entirely dependent on if Find My iPhone is On. If FMI is ON, the phone WILL be activation locked. If FMI is OFF, the phone WILL NOT be activation locked. Note that Remote Device Management Lock (MDM Lock) is NOT dependent on the FMI status. You can still have a phone that is MDM locked AND have FMI off. You'll only find this with company phones given to employees, not your everyday consumer's phone. Also be wary sometimes phones may have different IMEI's printed on their Sim Tray/Back of the housing because of sim tray and/or housing replacements. Just keep that in mind.

If you’re asking how to tell like that if a phone is FMI ON and on activation setup or FMI ON but on passcode/home, then no way to find out with SN/IMEI. Some services give more info but are pricy and I don’t believe they can tell. However if FMI is ON, it’s either on the Hello screen or activated and on home/passcode, but it can eventually be on Activation Lock screen if you restore the device
