What happens to my iphone5S after I die?

[talmy]

I'm sure a bunch of 99 cent apps will be the least of your families' worries if you were to die.

As would an iPhone! But there is more than 99 cent apps at stake. Consider also any music, video, ebooks or Mac apps (generally much higher priced) you may have purchased.

Pure speculation, but I'd expect Apple has policies in place where the executor of your estate (with appropriate documentation such as death certificate and letters testamentary) can gain control of your AppleID.

Yes, the policy in place is it is non-transferrable!

I found a good reference to legal issues of any Music/Video/Apps purchased from Apple. http://www.digitalpassing.com/2012/09/04/apple-itunes-music-videos-ebooks-die/

Would you care?

And it is a phone.....just a phone. I can think of a zillion other things you should be taking care of before worrying about a phone. Wow, a phone, really! Wow!

Does the phone die with me?

No.

You don't need a living finger.

If you qualify you and your phone go to heaven with SJ . If you don't your phone will melt in a few seconds.

I think this is the most hilarious thread ever!

When you die, your body is provided to the person who buys your phone.
