Reverse Engineering iOS 18 Inactivity Reboot

> In law enforcement scenarios, a lot of the forensically relevant data is available in the AFU state. Law enforcement takes advantage of this and often keeps seized iPhones powered on, but isolated from the Internet, until they can extract data.

In Slovenia, devices have to be turned off the moment they are seized by their owner, prior to putting them into airplane mode.

Also when thieves or muggers rob someone, the first thing they do is turn on Airplane Mode or force power-off.

WHY the hell don't those actions require a passcode or bio authentication??

I don't think people would be fine with being unable to power any electronic device down at need, even if they're not the owner.

It feels like something that needs to be as easy as possible, for safety reasons if not anything else.

Now what I'd like to see is an extension of their protocol that is used to locate iPhones that would also let them accept a "remote wipe" command, even when powered down.

Then obviously it should be an option for when you're traveling in places with a high risk of mugging.
