Cops in Detroit are sending out a warning about what they suspect is a new security feature in iOS 18.

    If this is indeed a security feature I’m about to buy my first iPhone.

      It should be, but it appears to be a bug.

      Just use a pattern to lock your phone. Police can’t do shit if you have that set up.

        It’s not the lock, it’s the fact that phones are usually encrypted after a reboot (to oversimplify). As the article says you have extra security measures to protect a freshly booted phone.
