If I were looking for low hanging fruit, I suspect it wouldn’t reboot if you were to replicate the user’s home WiFi environment in the faraday cage, sans internet connection of course. Or repeatedly initializing the camera from the lock screen.

From the article:

> Turns out, the inactivity reboot triggers exactly after 3 days (72 hours). The iPhone would do so despite being connected to Wi-Fi. This confirms my suspicion that this feature had nothing to do with wireless connectivity.
