So do these things just sit around on chargers?
I can't imagine many cases moving along fast enough to not have a phone want to update periodically. |

AFU = after first unlock
BFU = before first unlock These phones were likely in a state of examination or pending examination and were being actively monitored and powered. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mcantu: If you read the links, one of the phones WAS in a faraday box Was it kept in Faraday conditions when they were actively messing with it? I'm thinking that allowing any sort of connectivity to an electronic item intended to be used as evidence of what a criminal defendant did with it months prior is a serious chain of evidence issue. Now, if the OS has a "reboot and try to connect" algorithm for devices kept turned on for days/weeks/months of nonuse in Faraday conditions, then tough shit, you just got rebooted. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By joemama74: So do these things just sit around on chargers? I can't imagine many cases moving along fast enough to not have a phone want to update periodically. From my reading what they are implying is that any phones with iOS 18 are broadcasting a signal that triggers phones around it to reboot if they are not attached to the cellular network and have not been rebooted or unlocked within some unknown period of time. The phones in evidence were being continually powered to maintain the unlocked state. They were in a faraday cage to isolate them from the cellular network. From a privacy standpoint that is a pretty smart move for Apple. It would seem to be an attempt to thwart LEO efforts to use unlocked phones as evidence. |

You can force the phone to require a PIN/passcode by initiating an emergency call. https://support.apple.com/guide/personal-safety/emergency-call-text-iphone-apple-watch-ips4f0cd709b/web If your phone is on iOS 18, there’s a power button in the top right area of the control center. You can shut it down without going through settings. If you want to hard reboot the phone, here’s the procedure. https://support.apple.com/en-us/116940 |

Does this apply to users that keep their phone pass worded up all the time anyway ? How hard is it to get past an iPhone password while retaining the phone data ?

It's likely that the phones are equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy enabled Bluetooth chips. BLE is a low power mesh method of sending and receiving small commands and data amounts without access to cellular data nets just by being near a compatible device sending and listening for manufacturers commands and replies.

I was on the jury for a case where a father that was molesting his kindergarten age daughter had evidence on his phone. The idiot detective put the phone in his desk and the father remotely wiped his phone.
I’m a big fan of privacy protections but in this case the fuckup from the cops meant he got 30 years instead of the more significant charge they then couldn’t prove that probably would have put him away for the rest of his life. |

You can press the side button on your iPhone several times real fast and it will lock.
It then requires a password to get in. |

I used to work on cell phone data recovery for law enforcement. We recovered data from phones that had been wiped and factory reset. I know for sure there's a dude on texas death row (murdered a 13yr old girl) after we found web browsing history, facebook posts, call logs, and text message history. The phones are getting better and better about making it harder, but you'd be surprised. |

My Android running GrapheneOs is set to automatically reboot every 3 hours if it is untouched. It will also automatically disable the usb port, and even the charging function. These are mitigation techniques for snoopers.
Is there settings like this for apple? |

When the FBI seizes a desktop computer they can cut into the wall to expose the electrical wires. They have large portable UPS systems that they wheel in, connect the wires, disconnect the other ones and move the computer, still running, off to the lab.

The governement should try hard as it can within the confines of the 4th Amendment to legally obtain investigatory information. The public and corporations should try as hard as they can to thwart such mesaures. It's a nice, peaceful, neverending arms race between tyrant and free men.

A wall of chargers to keep them while they are being cracked OR waiting for their turn on the box. I have one at 2 years and still isn't cracked If a phone got a signal, their faraday setup is weak. Even the cords have been blamed for opening a faraday bag, so dedicated boxes, rooms, etc. are the standard. |
