Types of device locks

They include:
- Activation Lock (also known as the iCloud Lock)
- Passcode lock
- Carrier lock (also known as the SIM lock, or network lock)
- Screen time lock (also known as parental control locks)
- Corporate restrictions and bars controlled using Mobile Device Management Settings (MDM)
