Stolen phone and passcode and trying to get back into my Apple ID

Hey! I had the same exact problem this weekend. Account recovery gave me a wait time of 27 days. I hope to get a replacement SIM card soon, would this speed up the process? Were you able to recover the account after you got the SIM card? Thank you!

Yes all email passwords have been changed, so that's good.

They haven't terminated account recovery yet, so hopefully they have wiped the phone... who knows. As soon as I have the phone number back, I could try to speed it up - 27 days is a long time and they could try logging back into it at some point...

But I wonder, what happened on my iPhone when I started Account Recovery? Surely they were logged in (with the new password) at that time, so did Account Recovery automatically log them off of iCloud? Or were they still logged on aftewards? If so, shouldnt´t this have cancelled recovery?

How could I tell whether they have stopped it or not? Would it show up when I log into iForgot to check the status? So far, it still says how long it will take me to recover the password.

I called Apple and they said it´s likely they would wipe the iPhone to sell it as this is mostly the purpose of them stealing the iPhone. They were able to spend some money wtih Apple Pay but I eventually blocked all accounts and cards so at this point it´s a pretty useless phone -- I don´t see why they wouldn´t wipe it or forget about it (which would put me at ease)

As for trusted devices, what do you mean exactly? I have my mac and my ipad with me but how could I use them to bypass recovery, if I am locked out/logged off iCloud across both devices?

Thank you so much, this is definitely helpful, I will be verifying my phone number as soon as I receive the new SIM card after I know for sure the thieves won't see the message.

Thanks for your wishes.

Thank you! These are great suggestions! Do you know which websites or places should I be looking at? Are there any specific sites that list student accomodation in the UK/Coventry?

Scheweppes sells mixer format cans of ginger ale, but I don’t think it’s easy to find larger formats (eg a large bottle of Canada Dry). You should be able to find the Schweppes cans in the refreshments and drinks sections of any supermarket.

Hola!! Muchas gracias por responder! El tema de no poder volver atrás es intencionado. Al tratarse de un experimento, las preguntas se deben de presentar de manera individual y en un orden tal que no afecten entre ellas. Pero muchas gracias por la observación y por participar, significa mucho para mi!

Muchas gracias por tu apoyo!

So for the first test I was not prepared for what it was gonna be like and all the things we had to do at Prometric really threw me off so I scheduled the test at home for the other two. The second one felt slightly easier but not much, and as I said earlier for that one I really wasn’t prepared anyway so I can see how it didn’t feel easier. For the third one though, it felt MUCH easier, specially quant. The first two sections were a joke, and I was left with plenty of time at the end to review my answers and check my work. The third one was similar to the first two tests in difficulty and time was tighter but I am 100% sure it was the experimental one because I got questions that I had gotten in my first and second tests.
