Reduce resale risk before the device ships.
Synapse includes Find My, activation-lock status, and wipe verification checks as part of the certified inspection flow — so the status that decides a sale is documented, not assumed.
- Find My status
- Activation-lock status
- Wipe verification
Why activation lock matters at resale.
An iPhone still tied to a previous owner's Find My can be unusable for the next buyer. Synapse checks Find My and activation-lock status during the inspection, so you can catch a locked device before it ships.
Synapse helps reduce this risk by surfacing the status at inspection time. It does not control a device's status after it leaves your bench, and status can change later.
- Find My status checked on-device
- Activation-lock status surfaced at inspection
- Catch a locked device before it ships
Confirm the device was actually wiped.
Synapse verifies that a device was wiped by detecting its real state, not by trusting a timer. That gives you a documented record that the phone left your bench clean.
A documented wipe helps reduce disputes about leftover data or setup.
- Wipe confirmed by real device state
- No reliance on a countdown or guess
- A documented clean-device record
The status is on the certificate.
Find My, activation-lock, and wipe results are part of the inspection that drives the certificate. The certificate reflects the device's status at inspection time, giving the buyer a verifiable record.

Questions, answered
Common questions about this part of Synapse.
Does Synapse check for activation lock?
Yes. Synapse checks Find My and activation-lock status during the inspection, helping you catch a locked device before it ships. It surfaces the status at inspection time but does not control a device’s status afterward, and status can change later.
How does wipe verification work?
Synapse confirms a wipe by detecting the device’s real state rather than relying on a timer, giving you a documented record that the phone left your bench clean.
Is the activation-lock status shown on the certificate?
Yes. Find My, activation-lock, and wipe results are part of the inspection behind the certificate, which reflects the device’s status at the time it was inspected.
Does Synapse guarantee a device will never be locked?
No. Synapse helps reduce resale risk by checking status at inspection time, but it cannot control a device after it leaves your bench, and status can change later. It documents what was true at inspection.
Which plans include these checks?
All of them. Find My, activation-lock, and wipe verification are part of the full 50-point inspection included on every Synapse plan.
