  • Police Freak Out at iPhones Mysteriously Rebooting Themselves, Locking Cops Out

Also good to point out that asks for passcode != BFU. There should be some text saying “Touch ID requires your passcode when iPhone restarts.” Or something to the effect.

If you are uncertain which Faraday bag works, go into your local supermarket, put a premium steak in the bag, and try to walk out with it. If you get a free dinner then you know what works. But if your next bunk mate is Harry the Hatchet Murderer, then strike that bag

72 hours to reboot, that's an eternity...
My GrapheneOS 6a is set at 2 hours.
I have a 14 digit passcode and no fingerprint access. A rebooted phone from AFU to BFU makes no difference access wise to me.

    geko I agree that 72 hours is unnecessarily long, but do you have any particular reason for setting it to 2 hours ? Or is it just that it works well for you ?

        Guillaume That's not true. iOS uses a 72 hour timer after the device is locked. That's the initial default auto-reboot timer we implemented before moving to 18 hours as the default. You do not need to set anything up on GrapheneOS.

        Guillaume No, they use a 72 hour timer. It has nothing to do with location. We used 72 hours before we moved to the default of 18 hours.

        Guillaume You're incorrect. You're confusing other features with a reboot. Asking for your PIN does not imply it rebooted.

        Guillaume That is not how it works.

        Guillaume No.

                    It has been tested and proven that iPhones running iOS 18 or later automatically reboot after 72 hours of being locked. Cellural/Wifi/Bluetooth/Any connectivity doesn't affect it at all. I think this is a cool feature, and finally Apple did something good.
