The icloud locked ipad and why i wont ever buy apple again

a while ago i traded with a shady guy my tablet with an iPad 3 ,it was working fine until i tried to restore it ,i got a nice screen asking for an i cloud id, i tried contacting the guy but poof vaporware, i contacted apple and they don't feel obliged to help ,i am stuck with a brick that cost me 300e in the end .what i learn t from this ,that apple has an icloud service which can be a pain in the ass and while you are cheated to try to unlock it via other ways will open a hole to pocket .nevertheless the lesson is never buy something you dont know of it well .

You shouldn't buy Apple products because they're garbage, that's obvious. Anywho, take it to one of the billion small phone service shops and they'll flash it for you or restore it to factory default settings cheaply.

thats not so easy icloud lock is something that is too expensive to unlock i mean it is 2/3 of its worth , yeah i know the only apple product i had in past was a mac mini which i use as a server still :P

As long as the iPad's back to working condition, not using the iCloud is a trivial matter.

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    anything that offers trump an opportunity to become an actual dictator
    is bad in my book, i could care less if it wasn't for that...
