That means it’s harder for phone thieves, too.

"There is an apparently new iOS 18 security feature that reboots iPhones that haven’t been unlocked in a few days, frustrating police by making it harder to break into suspects’ iPhones

…

Apple added “inactivity reboot” code in iOS 18.1 that triggers iPhones to restart after they’ve been locked for four days"

    iPhones suck. This is still an objective improvement to them and currently an advantage over Android. Hatred and blind hatred aren’t the same.

        That’s super cool! I guess I should’ve expected that. Still unfortunately means you need to be a Pixel owner and to have installed a non-default OS, which is an extreme minority of Android users – compared to iOS 18.1 blanketing every 12th-or-later-gen iPhone.

          Yeah… I hope that it becomes a standard part of Android one day.
