> Most donated phones have an iCloud lock with no way to contact the previous owner to request an unlock

If someone donates a phone, isn’t clearing the phone and releasing the “iCloud lock” typical practice? Otherwise the phone has negative value, in that it is simply toxic waste.



You can still sell it for parts which is what usually happens in those cases. That's what they do with stolen phones for example.
