    That would be super cool if that was a feature instead of a bug because anything that makes law enforcement’s job harder is worth praising and doing properly.

    I wouldn’t mind having the ability to schedule a reboot on my phone as an extra precaution.

      I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.

        Its an aosp feature i believe, but its disabled on many phones. Graphene and calyx have it. With calyx its default off, but you can set it between 1 and 72 hours. Very handy feature.

          Graphene is set to reboot after six hours of inactivity, ensuring that it reboots every night after I’ve gone to bed.

    Aren’t iPhones switching from AFU to BFU if you don’t unlock them long enough anyway? Or is BFU not the same state as entered if lock and volume down button are pressed for some time?

    Hardly ever have I seen an article so full of “could be”, “alledgedly”, “supposed”, “likely”, and “probably”.

    It may be because I have stopped reading about UFO’s after the age of 15.

      Because they have no actual proof of it, and direct evidence against it. They talk about phones communicating with each other to restart… yet a phone inside a faraday box restarted.

      It’s almost certainly just a software bug in iOS which is why it’s inconsistent.

        It’s also the most unlikely explanation of all, that phones brought in communicated with the ones in custody to reboot them. Even if it was a security feature to reboot phones under certain conditions, which is very likely TBH graphene OS does this, the best implementation isn’t going to be relying on other phones randomly passing near by, it’s going to be self-managed by the phone that reboots.

          A remote command from some random phone to reboot does sound like the a wonderful vector for malware, though
