If this is indeed a security feature I’m about to buy my first iPhone.
Bug has been promoted to feature
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.
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.
Hot take: this is actually a bug not a feature.
“new security feature” “warning”
🙂
Speculation is that ios 18 is communicating with other phones while locked to determine security. This can more likely be a NSA/US empire backdoor than a user protection feature. Lowly police systems are just not on the “hacker list”. One way the backdoor could work is that if a “NSA/Mossad list phone” is present, protect the other phones, unless the phones are in an NSA/Mossad secure facility.
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.
