Yes, I am well aware.

shipping a phone to them or waiting for the tech to arrive, that transit time, is what my mind went to immediately when this feature was introduced.

The phones are significantly more difficult to get into after the reboot.

I’m disclosing absolutely nothing.

You did though. Lmao

It’s literally a documented feature AND it’s weird super secret spy agency shit is the easiest answer for you tbh.

I’ve used cellebrite before.

Anecdote of 1 for you, iOS is a pain in the ass.

Cellebrite struggles with iPhones already, this reboot is part of the cat and mouse game they’re playing

Or it could just be using the inactivity reboot feature that was recently added to iOS.
