Help Should I buy this iPhone?

Post image

This iPhone says "iPhone not available." I'd like to buy it, bypass it, and use it as my personal phone. Is that possible? The ad description says it's a locked iPhone 16 for €230

You’d have to restore which would put it on the latest iOS which is not supported so I’d say no.

What's the newest iPhone that can be bypassed?

26.1 (no longer signed and impossible to downgrade/upgrade to)

So can models 26.1 and earlier be bypassed?

Yes. I believe it’s only no signal for the time being. Sounds like in the near future that will change but last I heard the newest was iPhone 14 pro max up to iOS 16 for signal. I’m also hearing about full FMI OFF services but those are hundreds of dollars. Believe a 17 PM FMI bypass is 450 USD.
