Amazon won't do that. You will win your chargeback.

Even if Amazon does contact Apple, and Apple informs amazon the device is switched on, there's no proof it's you. The parcel is DNA, remember? The person who stole it turned it on, not you!

As for right now, tell your partner to turn it off until the chargeback is complete.

It's just signed into apple id and stuff and that apple ID has been signed into my iPad at some point so worried about that. But I guess you're right. I'll file for chargeback and shut it down until it passes. Any idea if using it afterwards is ok? I'm worried that the serial number is reported stolen then I should sell it instead.

Sorry for the late response. Remove the linked Apple ID and shut it down until the chargeback is complete.

If the ipad is WiFi only you have nothing to worry about. Using it afterwards is fine. If the ipad is cellular they may block any sims but it should still be usable, just without 4g/5g.

You can sell but you need to tell the seller its blocked. That being said sometimes Amazon doesn't report it as stolen.
