If you think you are entering a situation where your iPhone could be taken from you and used against you, the best thing to do is turn it off, and turn it back on only after you leave that situation. iPhones are the most resistant to physical attacks before you unlock them with your passcode. Lockdown Mode doesn’t make your phone safer against attacks where your adversaries are in possession of your phone (as of iOS 18).
@fay59 Felix-chan please add action to shortcuts app to reboot the phone. There is shutdown but no reboot. I am rebooting phone at least once a day, wish that could be automated.
@fay59 You will have more chances of catching exploits ITW too if they throw them more often due to waves of scheduled reboots from peranoid people like myself.
@krzywix you know exactly how much power I have to enact this but file a feedback and I’ll point people at it
@krzywix (also -chan is basically “baby girl”, I’m more of a -kun)
@fay59 @krzywix to me you will always be Félix-sama 🙇
@krzywix @fay59 If only the union of paranoid people and people who actually get targeted with exploits was not almost completely empty
@fay59 shutdown action can be edited to restart. I feel stupid now doing it manually every day.
@fay59 Is a lockout requiring passcode insufficient? With erase on 10 attempts?
@SloanStudio “insufficient” implies a “for my specific goal” and without the specific goal it’s hard to tell, but lockout after first unlock is weaker than rebooting to before first unlock. You still have all of your processes running with whatever contents they might already have loaded in RAM, you might have passwords lying around in plain text in memory, etc. All of that uncertainty is gone if you reboot
@fay59 what if the watch started rebooting the phone based on your heartbeat rate? 😜
