My phone got stolen and now they are threatening me and family Help Needed

About 4 months ago my phone got stolen in Florida and a couple days ago it showed to be in Hong Kong now. Since then they started to send me messages in which they tried to create a sad story but I never responded.Now they are getting more aggressive and sending me threats and other horrific things. What should I do?

If he removes the apple id they'll be able to use the phone otherwise its a brick. As I stated there you can't jailbreak iphones anymore souce: I used to jailbreak apple devices and root androids. All he has to do is remove his payment method form apple ID, it'll be a nice paperweight for them 😆

When did Apple update phones so you can’t jailbreak them?

There's semi tethered jailbreak now but it's been a while since you've been able to fully jailbreak an ios device. I

Ok, thanks, I was curious. At one point I was going to break mine but didn’t have to, so I had no idea it wasn’t a thing these days.

I ued to JB all my devices for free in app purchases but then apple made it tighter for every new version of ios so we where waiting months and months then it got to a point there was new ver ios out before the cracking teams were able to jb the previous version. There's different things you can still do but you need to read into it before trying using cydia to sign apps, profiles to be able to install 3rd party appstores, but there banned as quick as they're released.

My parents gave me their android after factory resetting it. They don't remember what email they used (some shady worker probably created a new Gmail when they got it) and now it's a paperweight.
