So I bought a iPhone 11 pro and its activation locked. No way for me to get ahold of the owner and I dont have the apple id.

I cannot get past the activation lock and I bought the phone second hand . I cant get ahold of the previous owner. And I am unable to use my phone.

iPhone 11

There is no known way to bypass activation lock without the assistance of the previous owner. If you purchased it through a 3rd party (e.g., ebay) try to get a refund through them as the phone is unusable. Also see: How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support
