A newly reported iPhone phenomenon could be bad news for both cops and robbers

Summary

67% Informative

A new phenomenon is causing confiscated iPhones to reboot on their own and send signals to nearby handsets to do the same.

Police officers in the US have noticed and warned of an issue whereby iPhones reboot by themselves, in turn becoming much harder to unlock without the original user’s input.

The iPhones documented appear to reboot a day or so after being disconnected from cellular service, or after a day of inactivity.
