iphone8

[carlaspapa]

A friend is giving me his iphone8 does he have to clear his apple Id off it for it to work for me? I've never owned an apple product.

@carlaspapa Your friend will also need to remove the phone from his list of registered devices in his iCloud account. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201351

The phone will need to be unlocked, the ID will need to be cleared. This goes for any apple product you purchase otherwise you could have access to your friend's personal info, including contacts and apple music.
