iOS 17.5 introduces a new 'repair state' mode in the Find My app, allowing iPhones to remain functional during service with both Find My and Activation Lock still active.
Phones in repair state mode are trackable and remain locked to the user's Apple ID, deterring theft and preventing easy wiping and resale, enhancing security measures.
The Find My app offers the option to set an iPhone to repair state mode, bypassing the Security Delay waiting period when attempting to remove the device from the account.
