police freaking out at iPhones stored for forensic examination mysteriously rebooting themselves. This makes brute forcing much harder. Cops hypothesize Apple pushed an update that tells nearby iPhones to reboot if not on phone network
Here is the law enforcement document - says that a bunch of iPhones were in an AFU state (easier to get data from). Then a bunch of them rebooted into a BFU state (much harder if not impossible to get data from
@ecksmc 😆 oh the shenanigans have started! And we are here for it!
@AkomoCombine ikr lol
some androids also let you auto-reboot
I had one few years back you set a timer for when device switched off and back on
Depends what manufacturer you go with - its a cool feature
@ecksmc MDM MAGICK!
@ecksmc interesting
@ecksmc
Apple added an inactivity timer that reboots iPhones to a more secure state when they haven’t been unlocked in a while.
Apple indeed added a feature called "inactivity reboot" in iOS 18.1. This is implemented in keybagd and the AppleSEPKeyStore kernel extension. It seems to have nothing to do with phone/wireless network state. Keystore is used when unlocking the device.

FYI Btw >> That's something GrapheneOS has been doing for some time now. As in: Automatically reboot after a device has not been used for some time (default is 18 hours). That implementation also seems way more logical then that way overcomplicated police theory
