Chosen Solution Hello. Last year, I bought an iPad online, secondhand. I contacted Apple about this, and the person I spoke to said my tablet had been reported stolen a couple weeks before I purchased it.

They told me that it would be a breach of privacy policy to give me any information regarding the owner....

I hope this would be true so I’ll try this solution....

I usually clean headphone speaker (metal cover that catches dirt and earwax ) with toothpicks
