The good news is Apple released Activation Lock tool for iOS devices to device Activation Lock status.
By introducing this tool, actually Apple would like to make an easy way to check device Activation Lock, and also stop people to buy a locked device as that device might be a stolen or lost one, and maybe the owner of device fail to disable this lock.
