You can’t directly identify the owner of a found iPhone due to Apple’s privacy protections.
The best option is to hand it over to local lost and found services or the local police, who can help if the owner reports it lost.
Good Luck! 👋🏼😉

Turn it into the venue's lost and found, or turn it into the police.

Turn it over to any lost and found in the area or turn it into the police. The phone is useless to you.

I would recommend taking it to a nearby Lost & Found or Police Station. You would only be able to identify the owner if they chose to provide that information where it would appear on the Lock Screen when they mark it as lost. They are able to still see the location of the device to know where it is, so that is why I suggest to have it in a neutral location where they can pick it up. You certainly would not want them to be tracking you.
