icloudiosiphoneitunes
So I have a older iPhone X running iOS 13.6.1. I changed the password and forget it today, I already have my data backed up. I was wondering if there was anyway I could erase the iPhone without updating. I got iCloud running on my computer and I got 3 choices, "Play Sound, Lost Mode, Erase iPhone" Would the last one update the ios?
By the way, the iPhone is not fully disabled, I still have 1 try left.
Set the iPhone to Manually manage music, Does the trick for me.
It is only possible if the thief knew (or guessed) your passcode.
If your data was in standard apps(Mail, safari), then there's nothing to worry about, if it was stored in apps that allow for filesharing through the 'apps'-tab on iTunes, then I don't really know how iTunes handles that.
Yes it was connected to the Internet, but it could be with 3G (was it on when it was stolen?) or a public network that automatically connects (like Apple Stores or Starbucks) without needing a password.
Don't really know
In any case, report this to your local police office (bring the serial number, it should be on the box) and let them handle the theft.

Using the Erase iPhone option will not update the OS. It will simply wipe all data from your device. You should be able to then setup the phone again. However, without disabling FindMy, it will require you to enter your iCloud password, of course.
