Because of the summer beta season, I reset several iOS test devices at least twice a year.

You know what step of that process I haven’t seen go smoothly in YEARS? Disabling Find My & Activation Lock.

Type the password, hit the button, wait forever.

You can cancel and try again, and then it’ll work, but what?!

Is it just my iCloud account(s) this affects or is Reset not on one of the regular QA scripts at Apple?
