I'm a Droid guy but trying to help a HS friend. Her uncle passed and the family is trying to get to his contacts.

He had a pre paid iPhone 7 and it's locked.

Any input on what they can do??

Thx!!

if it's truly just contacts they're trying to retrieve, try logging into his gmail account on his computer. Contacts are usually stored there.
 

Best you can hope for is for them to transfer the account to that person's power of attorney, but the data on the device is gone if you don't have a password and there's not an unencrypted backup on their iTunes profile.
 
Best you can do is find a data recovery company to get whatever they can from the phone’s drive. Apple will not unlock the phone
Yup. My lady just lost her backup phone (iPhone 7) and it took fooooorever to Apple to do anything without her Apple ID and password. She failed the security question (LMAO) and her shit was LOCKED for almost a week.
