I have an iPhone 4S with activation lock. The original owner is deceased and I can't remove the lock. Can you help?

Sorry, but no. We can't help.
Unfortunately, neither can Apple unless you can meet the qualifications in this document:
How to request access to a deceased family member’s Apple Account - Apple Support
The family of the deceased can request access to their Apple account with the proper documentation, which would potentially allow you to remove the lock.
Of course even if you can unlock it, it's not going to be of much use. App developers no longer support it and it's not usable even as a basic phone in most of the world.
Thank you for your reply, Kilted Tim.
Unfortunately, I don't have any family members of the original owner that I can contact. Do you know if there's any other way to get the activation lock removed, even if it's just to use the iPhone 4S for something other than calls and texts.
Sorry, but no.
oh ok thanks for your help Bob timmons
If you're located in the U.S., it's useless anyway. The 4s can only connect up to 3G, and all 3G service was shut down in the U.S. around mid 2022.
Nope.
what do you mean "nope" FelipeV i was trying to say thanks for their help.
And I was answering your original question.
then be more pacific ok.
