However, that all might change in iOS 17.5, with Apple reportedly introducing a new mode called ‘Repair State,’ which does not require you to keep Find My disabled.New ‘Repair State’ mode in iOS 17.5 will let users confirm their identity with their Apple ID and password to ensure that the device is not stolen
