The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.

Hello Apple Support,


I purchased a second-hand iPhone 11. I created a new Apple Account, but I cannot activate iCloud because I get this error:


“The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.”


Please help me resolve this activation limit issue.


Thank you.
