THE RED FLAG
Enrolled in corporate deployment.
The screen announces: "This device will be automatically configured by Enterprise Corp" and locks the buyer out entirely.

ENTERPRISE CONTROL
Enrolled in Apple Business Manager or Knox.
The organization can geolocate, restrict cameras, push management policies, or remotely wipe the hardware at any time.

TEMPORARY FIX
The serial number remains registered.
Bypass tools only suppress the setup screen locally. As soon as you factory reset or update iOS, DEP enrollment triggers again.
