      My 1 year locked me out for 1 hour and the phone was not counting down. I then connected it to my computer no luck although it may have triggered something still nothing happened so I disconnected it but also noticed battery was at 32% so I connected to my charger and it’s now counting down. This may or may not help anyone but I thought I’d share my experience.

      Do you remember your iCloud account and password? You can log in iCloud through a browser and then use Find My iPhone to erase your phone remotely.

    Video is great, but please do away with the background music
    It's hard to hear/focus on your message because the music is too prominent and a bit disorganised
