I am locked out of an Apple I-Phone 16 Pro Max. My person died on July 12, 2024. I had the phone with me but did not try to open it for several days because I use an Apple 13 Pro Max and had no need to use his phone. My friend passed away in Hospice Care. (Bristol Hospice) he was placed there by Kaiser Hospital South Sacramento, CA.

My condolences to the lost of your friend. If you are the rightful inheritor of the iPhone and data, Apple requires legal documentation before they can assist in unlocking a deceased person’s Apple Account.
