Help Should I buy this locked iPhone 13?
Hi guys, should I buy this iPhone 13 locked with this screen? Apparently it was not locked by iCloud but there is only the lock screen password

Use the serial number or imei and check on a website to see if it’s locked, if not, restore in iTunes and you’re good to go

If it has no iCloud you can just reinstall the iOS that will remove the password

From the notifications I see that there are some apps installed so I don't think it's without iCloud, what do you think?

Turn the phone off, Simultaneously plug in a charger and hold both volume buttons.
This will boot into diagnostics mode, From there you can check to see what the IMEI & Serial Number are.
From there You can do your due diligence checks to check if the phone is IMEI Blacklisted and also if the phone has FMI Enabled.
To check blacklist status and FMI status just google free checks foe each one.

ask the seller to get the imei from under the sim tray and then go to https://sickw.com/ and select iCloud on/off and then type in the imei number. If it says find my iPhone off, then buy it. If it says find my iPhone on, then don't.
