If this is indeed a security feature I’m about to buy my first iPhone.
Bug has been promoted to feature
Just use a pattern to lock your phone. Police can’t do shit if you have that set up.
It’s not the lock, it’s the fact that phones are usually encrypted after a reboot (to oversimplify). As the article says you have extra security measures to protect a freshly booted phone.
Note to those wishing for such a function, it’s possible by creating an iOS Shortcut - New Shortcut > Shutdown > Change it to ‘Restart’.
From there, you create an automation in Shortcuts to run based on time, location, etc.
“new security feature” “warning”
🙂
Hot take: this is actually a bug not a feature.
Someone said it in another thread yesterday, baseband memory leak. The firmware for that shit is terrible, I’ve had to deal with it in the past.
The police could just ask Apple, it isn’t like they are going to have some secret reboot process that they would hide from the police.
Phones that are repeatedly attempted to be unlocked auto hard reset. Been a feature for years.
