According to the report, the US Police Department found some iPhone models kept in forensic investigation to be rebooted again and again. The automatic reboot made it difficult to bypass the phone’s security. According to the report of 404 Media, there was a problem in unlocking the device due to repeated reboots on its own. Because of this, the police department faced difficulty in investigating the seized iPhone.
The media report said that Michigan Police said in its document that Apple has recently added this feature, so that the phone gets the signal to reboot from other devices. However, a security researcher has discovered the Inactivity Reboot security feature in the code of iOS 18.2. This feature has been specially designed in such a way that if the phone is not unlocked for a long time, it will automatically reboot.
It is impossible for data to be stolen!
After the introduction of this security feature, even if the iPhone is stolen, it will remain just a box. This feature of Apple will not allow the phone to be unlocked, due to which the possibility of data theft is less. Apple encrypts user data in two ways. The data before the first unlock of the device and after the first unlock of the device is encrypted.
However, this is not the first time that Apple has released a security feature for its iPhone. The company has disabled USB debugging in its iPhone by default, due to which the phone’s data cannot be accessed through USB.
