dl iPhones stored for forensic analysis unexpectedly reboot, causing problems for police By appleinsider.com Published On :: Thu, 07 Nov 2024 22:42:28 +0000 Multiple iPhone units stored for forensic analysis have rebooted themselves, causing concern among law enforcement officials that Apple has a new security feature.iPhones stored for forensic analysis have reportedly begun rebooting themselves.The phones in question had a few things in common, they were all running iOS 18.0, and they had been disconnected from cellular networks for some time. They were sent into a forensics lab on October 3, 2024.The affected devices even included one that was in Airplane Mode and another that was kept in a Faraday cage, which prevents electrical signals from accessing the device. While it's most likely that the devices began boot-looping or that they ran low on battery, officials believe the restarts were caused by something else entirely.

dl iPhones on iOS 18.1 will automatically reboot and lock down after being idle for a while By appleinsider.com Published On :: Sat, 09 Nov 2024 17:03:38 +0000 A hidden feature in iOS 18.1 will automatically reboot a locked iPhone when it is asleep but hasn't been unlocked for a while, presumably as a security measure.The feature has been identified as an "inactivity reboot," and is similar to a feature found on Macs. The Mac version, known as "hibernation mode," saves the state of the device to disk when put to sleep, in case the power fails or the battery runs out before the user can return to the machine.By flushing the last state of the device, iPhone users are better protected from forensic searches by law enforcement or other entities. The change also makes it more difficult for anyone to break into the device using brute-force or other methods.The reboot timer is not reliant on charging or network functions, and is only tied to inactivity since the last unlock. This means the reboot will take place after a period of time, even if network connections are not maintained. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums Full Article

It's in a position that you have to lift or tilt the Mac mini to access it, which can be awkward for people with larger digits. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums Full Article
