While setting up an iPhone without an Apple ID offers privacy and temporary access benefits, there are some implications to consider: 1. Limited Access to Services: Without an Apple ID, you won't be able to access certain services like the App Store, iCloud backup, iMessage, FaceTime, Apple Music, and more.
Using an iPhone without linking an Apple ID is fine since you are scared of security theft. However, you have to bear in mind that the absence of Apple ID on an iPhone does have its downsides. For instance, you can't access Apple Store if you do not link or add Apple ID to your iPhone, and you know what that means?
You sign in to your Apple Account with an email address (for example, daniel_rico1@icloud) and a password. It's recommended that you use the same Apple Account for all Apple services.
If you buy music from the iTunes Store, rent movies or TV shows on your Apple TV, buy and subscribe to apps or games on your iOS or Mac devices, or shop on the Apple Online Store, you need to have an Apple ID.
Resetting iPhone is a straightforward method to unlock iPhone without Apple ID and password. Reset will also remove all the data from your iPhone and make it new. So, again make sure you have a backup before you jump to the reset process.
But why is the location shown different to my own location? The reason your other device shows some strange location in the pop-up message is that the location shown is not actually your device's location. It is an approximation of the address of your device's 'IP Address'.
Apple does this to make sure it is you signing into your account and protect your privacy and security when there have been changes, or when it has been a while since you last logged in.
What are you doing when you see this? The situation you describe can happen if there are apps (or media purchases) on the device that were installed (or downloaded) under a different Apple ID/account, and they need updating or redownloading.
Be sure to check your inbox regularly. Apple sends you email notifications to help you manage your account.
The location shown might reflect the network you're connected to, and not your physical location. If you know you're the person trying to sign in but you don't recognize the location shown, you can still tap Allow and continue signing in.
