404 Media also goes into more detail of exactly what’s happening and, crucially, when. According to Chris Wade, founder and CTO of the cybersecurity startup Corellium, the reboot happens after four days.
Well, that’s information which will be useful to the police in Detroit, who can simply ensure they access each iPhone before the four days’ limited expires.
Of course, as the report goes on, it means that the real target of this update, criminals who have stolen your iPhone, will also now know to check in with the phone every few days. As cryptographer Matthew Green pointed out to 404 Media, “This feature means that if your phone gets stolen, the thieves can’t nurse it along for months until they develop the tech to crack it. I would bet that rebooting after a reasonable inactivity period probably doesn’t inconvenience anyone, but does make your phone a lot more secure. So, it seems like a pretty good idea.”
The original issue was making police in Detroit think that a series of iPhones were sneakily communicating with each other, as we’ll discuss below, but a new report talks about a “hidden feature,” as Charles Martin at Apple Insider describes it.
This feature is called inactivity reboot and it means that if the iPhone hasn’t been unlocked for a certain period of time, it will automatically reboot. Rebooting puts the iPhone in a state where a physical password is required to unlock it, “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,” as the report describes it.
I mixed them up, you are correct in both.
Paywall, didn’t read.
Also, I don’t want to support Jeff Bezos.
I am not a researcher here, I am talking as a person surfing social media and laying down his observations.
I am not saying this as a person who analyzed thousands of posts to come with this.
I thought this is a basic concept given in my post.
But incase it wasn’t clear, all of this are simple observations based on my subjective use of social media and for sure would not represent the whole left, as it would require deeper analysis of thousands of posts and comments.
This is a simple man observations.
TikTok is more important apparently.

This is new.
Also, the hacker plan to release new data soon.
You might not be following the news:
Moscow targeted as Ukraine and Russia trade large drone attacks ~Ukrainian strike on Moscow is biggest since full-scale invasion while Russia sends wave of record 145 drones~
You suffer from “headline please make me angry” syndrome.
Solution: seek least biased news sources to get better or seek radically biased news sources to get worse.
I am genuinely curious, what kind of academic are you?
I am asking because I didn’t understand why your credentials would benefit your comment and why did you feel the need to mention it before stating your opinion on a anonymous community.
You might be joking when you are saying that you are academic, but I am asking in case you where serious.

In my opinion, something is going to break within 6 months.
The inflation is still high and the danger of recession is still here.
Any proof?
