Found a Phone Near the House
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I found a protected smartphone thrown near my door a year ago. It's not mine and not anyone's in the building. There was one phone number, and it turns out it doesn't exist, but the phone has special applications like Torah and Tanach. What am I supposed to do, and can I use it?
Answer
Hello,
According to the laws of found items - you may use it.
However, I emphasize that I am only answering regarding the laws of found items - not concerning the actual use of the iPhone.
