Law enforcement believe the activity, which makes it harder to then unlock the phones, may be due to a potential update in iOS 18 which tells nearby iPhones to reboot if they have not been in contact with a cellular network for some time, according to a document obtained by 404 Media.
I’d like to see more protections on that end, ie: auto-reboot if the SIM card is ejected, if not unlocked for X days, if network access is lost for X minutes, etc
I would want auto reboot if a code you set isn’t entered and then a cable capable of data transfer is connected.
