What is Apple's Blacklist?
Basically it is that when you buy your used iPhone, you can't use it, but it is not that it does not turn on or the equipment has undergone a radical change, because you can have the device, use its main tools without realizing what is going on, that is why many people are wary of having a second-hand iPhone but no.
Some people associate it with iCloud software, for example, or that it is locked, normally these ideas arise to get a faster response, but this is not the case, because if it were locked it would not exercise the functions of the device, just if there is a lock , but it is in the database of the company that makes the terminal inoperative of your "new" iphone.
So what happens is that when you try to place a call, that report is automatically activated, the company already knows that the reported iPhone is being used.
So what it does is delete the IMEI, with the result that when you call you cannot perform this function, but keep in mind that you can perform functions such as playing games on that device, so it is important that you know how to identify it.
Causes of an iPhone being blacklisted
The number one cause is that the previous user did not pay for the services with Apple, the most convenient solution is for the previous user to take a deal with the company, this company has the ability to do so and pay that debt.
Also, when they are stolen, users obviously report them so that they are blocked so that they cannot be used for elementary functions such as calling.
When people tend to be forgetful, they can lose their iPhone so they have the opportunity to report it, so that someone else can't use it, so in case the person eventually finds it, they can delete it from the list.
In all tranquility, this is one of Apple's most useful tools for their iPhones, but the most people don't know when they buy the device.
